This song conveys some thoughts as if I was John Cadoret a.k.a The Highway Swagman a.k.a John The Jolly Swagman. John quit a banking job in Melbourne over 40 years ago. After deciding to take a short ‘holiday’ for a few months he started walking…and walking… He’s walked around Australia’s Highways for over 40 years now with no intention of slowing down or staying in one place.
