Whilst the CD is an aural illustrations of John's music, the dimension of this DVD allows wonderful pictures to further enhance these songs. Also included is a very moving ceremony conducted prior to Australia Day 2005 entitled "Uluru Dawn" in which John and Warren Williams sing "Raining on the rock" and then John joins Trevor Adamson to sing "Waltzing Matilda", each in their own language.
