His own father had served in Papua New Guinea during the war and he wanted to experience something of what he had to endure. He stated that it was the toughest test he had faced: "I was determined to make it, no matter what. But it was really, really hard." In the interim, Braithwaite toured regularly, and in 1997 he returned to the musical theatre stage in the Melbourne production of Chess. From 1999 onwards, he also resumed occasional touring with a reunited Sherbet. 2005–present After more than a decade away from the recording studio, Braithwaite featured on the track "The Euphonious Whale" from James Reyne's 2005 album, And the Horse You Rode in On. A new studio album from Braithwaite titled Snapshot appeared later in 2005. It included four songs co-written by Braithwaite, including "See You Around Sometime", which was written with Mark Seymour and had been previously recorded by Seymour for his album One Eyed Man. In 2006, Braithwaite sang on two new Sherbs tracks specially recorded for a greatest-hits compilation, Super Hits; they were The Sherbs' first new recordings in 22 years. Braithwaite then resumed his solo career with the 2008 release of The Lemon Tree, an album of acoustic reworkings of both solo and Sherbet hits, and a few covers. In 2007, Braithwaite performed "One Summer" on the soap opera Neighbours. In 2013, Braithwaite was re-signed by Sony Music Australia. CEO Denis Handlin said in a statement: "Daryl is an icon of the Australian music industry and we are delighted to welcome him home to Sony Music." He released his first album of new material since 2005, titled Forever the Tourist. It featured the lead single "Not Too Late". The album peaked at number 47. At the ARIA Music Awards of 2017, Braithwaite was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame by Jimmy Barnes. To coincide, Sony Music Australia released a new compilation, Days Go By, which debuted at No. 5. In June 2020, Braithwaite released the single "Love Songs", which became his first top-50 single in 27 years.
