My memory accords with yours, Ian. I first learned Bob Campbell's Australian Ladies in Hobart, Tasmania, in 1984. At that time I was given a photocopy of a closely typed page of instructions, on which the original "change places giving the left hand" for bars 23-24 and 31-32 had been crossed out and replaced by "change places giving the right hand." That would, of course, have been some years after the publication of the dance in its present form in Glasgow Assembly, but does indicate the way the dance evolved. Incidentally, my copy of Glasgow Assembly gives an unusual printing history: it was first published "in part" in 1970 (with or without Australian Ladies?), and the "first full printing" took place in 1976. The TAC-sponsored reprint was in 1982. Regards Rosemary Coupe Vancouver
