Bryce Rhode recorded TURN RIGHT etc in California in June, 1977, released on 
Nocturne NRS-303, When reissued on CD MIV 303 it was retitled, either LET'S 
HURRY OFF or more Likely SHORT WAY HOME. Both American issues. Maybe not 
YKOM

TASMAN BRIDGE was played by Don Burrows at the 1976 Tauranga Jazz Festival 
New Zealand in 1976 and issued on Tauranga  PRA-834 - A NZ LP.

BIG WALKABOUT was composed by Bud Baker, recorded by Graeme Bell in London, 
July 1951 (on Lake LACD-166) and again in April, 2004. Steve Waddell's 
version is on Stomp Off CD1301

I'VE BEEN EVERYWHERE was a tongue twister pop, mentioning dozens of 
Australian cities and towns. I believe it has been taken up by other 
countries, substituting their own localities.

IS THAT THE WAY? was composed by Ade Monsbourgh, Ian Turner later added 
words. It was recorded a number of times by Graeme Bell, Ade Monsbourgh, 
Dave Dallwitz and the Golden City Jazz Band.

Definitely
