Bullamakanka was an Australian country music trio formed in 1978. The band toured extensively throughout the 1980s and their distinctive melding of Australian bush music with American bluegrass gained them a large following.
In 1986, Rex Radonich died in a car accident and Rod McCormack joined the band. The band's single, "Home Amongst the Gum Trees", brought them a considerable measure of crossover success.
Ray Young died of liver cancer in March 2004.
