Welcome to Australia - Comedy Country Song - Terry Bennetts

Welcome to Australia - Comedy Country Song - Terry Bennetts ‘Welcome to Australia’ was written after a holiday to Europe where so many folks over there said they wouldn’t travel to Australia because of all the dangerous creatures we have here. They said we have the most poisonous spiders and snakes as well as crocodiles, sharks, box jelly fish etc so were staying well away.The comedy song has done well on the Australian CM Charts spending many weeks in the top ten reaching number #2. The song features Terry Bennetts – Songwriter, Guitar and Vocals, Ian Simpson – Banjo, Mark Donohoe – Upright Bass, John Bennetts – Drums and Chris Murphy – Backing Vocals and is off Terry’s Album ‘A Fortunate Life’.
