As for them not playnig Kosciosko because it is in too high a key for Rob, 
as far as I know, thy played it a few months ago at the benefit for the 
Mental as Anything drummer who lost his home in the Sydney bushfires. As 
Peter couldn't make it, they played as a quartet, and played Wedding Cake 
Island, When the Generals Talk and kosciosko, and I think maybe one more, 
but I am not sure what..could someone enlighten me. Also, does anyone have a 
bootleg of that show. Would be cool to hear.
Cheers
Stephen
