Great band . Read about them in a review from Rolling Stone magazine in '87 ( or '86 ? ) . Highly recommend it .
That's Paul Kelly, he should be the Poet Laureate of Australia. He captures everything from being an urban teenager to families living and working on the land.

This is "From little things big things grow" a song written around a campfire by Paul Kelly and Kev Carmody when out camping. It tells the story of the Vincent Lingiari and the Gurindji Strike, a significant part of Australian history, the song ends with the powerful symbolism of Prime Minster Gough Whitlam returning the land by scooping up a handful of sand and placing it into Vincent's hands.
