Out On The Rocks by Ada Crossley

Ada Crossley first performed this song at a benefit concert at Melbourne Town Hall in April 1889 and it was to become a regular in her repertoire. A reviewer at the time declared that this ballad ‘suited her sweet and mellow voice admirably’.

After Crossley moved overseas, she became a first point of contact for Australian singers in London, who would seek her out for advice and letters of introduction.
