Don't know the answer, but a vague attempt to find out led me to the wonderful Parting Glass website: http://poguetry.com/

Which I haven't been on for years. It didn't provide an answer in this case, but I'm glad to know it's still there. 8)

Hi, everybody. This is my first post in years. I used to be called robertc.

Do you know what "Eora" means? That song is about a war in 1798, but all I could find about "Eora" was some place in Australia.
