First Australian “Dingo” Singing

Community Hall at Brunswick Uniting Church
Melbourne, Australia
Monday, January 26, 2026

17 singers gathered after the 9th Australian Sacred Harp Convention to sing.
Song selections were from The Christian Harmony, 2010 edition and The Shenandoah Harmony, 2012 edition.
It is named a Dingo singing because these Australian native dogs can be coloured black or tan, just like the two books.
