Australian Ladies 1

I have it on the very best authority that this dance was devised in May 
1967 in New Zealand by Bob Campbell of Canada for Jean Conway, Elma See, 
Lorraine Dyall,
and Margaret Gray of the Newcastle (Aust.) Colleges Strathspey and Reel Club.
Elma See was one of the distinguished teachers at the 26th Australian 
Winter School held here in Brisbane recently. (This is the version where 
the corners set and cross while the dancing couple keep crossing between 
them to the right.)
