Frontier War Stories - Paddy McHugh - Gins Leap


Listen Later

In episode Twenty Two Boe yarns with singer songwriter and teacher Paddy McHugh, we talk about a song he wrote titled Gins Leap.

many years ago at the station I still work at I remember hearing a song for the first time with lyrics like this "On the Kamilaroi highway near the town of Boggabri There is a little truck stop there most travellers pass by But occasionally the weary or those who need to take a leak Will stop beside this spot by the name of Gins Leap, Now Gins Leap is a clifface a mighty wall of stone Left high above the plain by a volcano years ago There is a little sign there tucked underneath it's face That tells all who read it how Gins Leap got its name.
