Brian Heywood Fatal Shore The Fatal Shore was a name given to the Australian colonies by the early settlers and convicts due to the harsh conditions - and the incompetence of the British governance. However it wasn't just the new arrivals who suffered from the European influx. This is the oldest tragedy of our race is where a mainly nomadic culture comes up against a stationary agricultural society - Cain versus Able. This song is Brian Heywood's take on the Aussie folk song "Moreton Bay" - with the story being told by a displaced aboriginal family rather than a convict. The song was originally recorded in 2002 at Hugh Macdonald's studio in Melbourne and completed in Bluetongue Studio on the mid north coast of New South Wales.
