Notes

This set was written by Julia Smith of the Newcastle Irish Set Dancers who dance in the Charlestown
suburb of Newcastle in NSW, Australia and is dedicated to these dancers. While this set is composed
mainly of traditional elements, newer elements reflect some of the diversity of dancing enjoyed in
Australia in the 21st century. First side couple is on the left of first top couple. Swings are in waltz
hold. Some sections suit battering steps.
