Someone might be able to help me out here. I have been searching for a version of this song I believe was called the marbo version. It uses the re-recorded guitar track for the 1989 re-release. See below, I still can't get this embedding thing right :(

Anyway the Marbo version has a long didgeridoo intro, and the instrument features again during a pretty heavy guitar solo. The only place I ever heard it was on Sydney's Triple M.

For the record I consider the definitive version of this song was at the Sydney Flood Relief concert

He was the lead guitarist and only non aboriginal in Warumpi Band, the first band to sing a rock song in an aboriginal language. Their most famous song was My Island Home, later covered by Christine Anu. In 1986/87 they toured with Midnight Oil on the Blackfella/Whitefella Tour.

Here's a couple of their numbers:

Jailangaru Pakarnu:


My Island Home (in my opinion one of the finest aussie rock songs ever recorded):


Yolgnu Boy:


Blackfella/Whitefella and The Dead Heart with Midnight Oil:

It might help if you spelled it "Mabo"... :p

LOL - I can safely say I tried both spellings. It looks like the key to a successful search is to use remix instead.

I wonder if the 30 minute version used during a 2000 New Years eve show was ever released or even bootlegged

Thanks for all the info. I agree it is definately up there. The Church, Under The Milky Way is another exceptional piece of song writing.

I know you are not a big fan of Christine Anu's version of Island Home, but the version she sang for the 2000 Olympics was outstanding

If that was good, this'll be better:
