Lynne offers these hints if you are looking for the music:

Most everything I am playing with the exception of Peter Hicks and the latest Cloudstreet can be purchased from the Australian distributor Folktrax.

CDs by Peter Hicks may be available at indie-cds.com, if they are in print.

For Cloudstreet, go to their site.

I strongly recommend that everyone check out these bands online, and if you like what you find there, to purchase their music. They are not well known outside Australia and deserve a much wider audience than they currently have.
