An Australian Accent Audio Bible?

Nick and I were talking this morning about how there’s not much around by way of audio Bible’s in the Australian accent.

All I could find was was a Good News New Testament with background music here.

And if you want to make your own – licensing is problem…

but I just found this from our friends at the NET (New English Translation)

from http://bible.org/copyright
“(NEW) There has been a lot of interest in producing audio recordings of the NET Bible for local ministry user. Therefore a local ministry eg. Church is granted unlimited non-commercial rights to use the NET Bible text to make audio recordings. You can produce audio recordings of partial or complete books of the Bible (WORK) for free distribution on email and/or CD within the congregation, and as free MP3 downloads made available on the church website and the personal blogs of members of the church to be of benefit to the church at large. This permission is contingent upon an appropriate copyright acknowledgment, on the distribution copy (website or CD) and you need to include an audio insert at the end of each recording in addition we require that you grant us permission to use your WORK and any promotional material that you use for the WORK.Sign and send us the NET Bible Contributor License Agreement form.”

Thanks NET for translating God’s word for us and for your generous, open licensing.

I’ve got a microphone – anyone got a good news-reader voice?
