Gundagai is a rural town of New South Wales. In May 2001 the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA), as part of its 75th anniversary celebrations, named "Along the Road to Gundagai" as one of its Top 30 Australian songs of all time.[2][3] It was used as the theme to the Dad and Dave radio show.[4]
