It is Day 10 of Riskmas and, today, the song Tenterfield Saddler. When you think of the great Australian, Peter Allen, you think of – quite naturally – I still call Australia home. But for those of us of a certain vintage and/or who are fans of Peter Allen, we all know that Tenterfield Saddler is perhaps his best work.

While I still call Australia home is an expat love song, a song that exuberantly celebrates all that makes my homeland great, Tenterfield Saddler is a sadder, more poignant song that speaks to the precarious balance of life versus death. A balance that is challenged daily if you live in Australia.

Today, let’s look at Tenterfield Saddler. One of the most beautiful songs of all time, and an unintentional homage to risk management.
