Dad and Dave from Snake Gully was a long running Australian radio drama series based on the stories of Steele Rudd. The show was enormously popular and only ended when lead actor George Edwards died in 1953.

The theme tune was "The Road to Gundagai". The standard accent used by actors and announcers in Australian broadcasting was "Southern English", an upper class British version that emulated the BBC. The actual Australian accent was acceptable only in low comedy as in "Dad and Dave from Snake Gully."

This famous Australian radio drama series can still be heard on Melbourne Australia's Golden Days Radio 95.7FM every Saturday morning at 9.30am. The program is streamed around the world on www.goldendaysradio.com at that time. Dad & Dave is also heard on Vintage FM (87.6 Hawkesbury, 87.8 Penrith and 88.7 Camden) weekdays at 4am, 10:30am and 9pm
