Notes
1. This page originated from an email from Anton Bohnen, The Netherlands:
"Maybe you can help. I am searching  for Dylan cover versions by Australian artists. Are there any lists?
Got a few already in my collection, but I still can't find a couple which are on my searching lists. Beside
that I think there will be more that I don't know". 7 January 2001. Hello Anton!
2. Despite a sometimes savage rivalry in other arenas, by tradition, Australian rock musicians  include those from New Zealand, e.g.  Crowded House.
