My Island Home is by the Warumpi Band
Hi Brad, My Island Home is by Warumpi Band. However the Christine Anu version is beautiful and I thought the list needed some variation from Aussie rock bands. Thanks for your comment.
Since I’m a Torres Strait Islander (and a little biased), My Island Home, closely followed by Down Under and Better Be Home Soon.
Great choices Alimah!Thanks for your comment.
