The Morning of the Fray (Eugowra Hold-Up)
Thanks to @user-qq2er9nb2f for suggesting I have a look at this song.
It was turned into a jaunty ballad by A.L.Lloyd using an existing tune here:

Lloyd's version has added a chorus. This version was also sung by Warren Fahey( @bodgiefahey ):

The tune used by Llloyd is 'Shores of Botany Bay', but I'm not sure which pre-dates the other.
The earliest version of the text I could find is here, under the title "Morning of the Fray":

Eugowra is about 2 hours drive from where I live, and suffered from some terrible flooding earlier this year:
