The group also does a good ecological anthem, "Hey Hey Hey," co-written by Durham, which gets into world music territory -- her voice still has the same power it displayed 30 years ago, and the group still plays and sings well. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/treasure-chest-mw0000371268|title=Treasure Chest by The Seekers|publisher=[[AllMusic]]|accessdate=1 October 2016}}</ref>
