    You can see from her face and her hair, australians are not obsessed with our looks. She earned her wrinkles and wore them with pride, and there is nothing wrong with a natural hair colour as you age. I could not tell she had a lung problem nearly all her life. She was a tiny person, with such a big voice, and carried herself with a lot of grace. Rip.

      I hopped on a tram in Melbourne around 45 years and there she was. I so much wanted to go over to Judith and do the fan thing, but I could tell she didn't want me making a fuss when she looked into my yes. That was enough I've never forgotten that day.

    Oh darling, you don't know how every Aussie was broken and devastated at the loss of Judith. She's sitting on a stool in this video due to illness. But her voice never changed. Angelic. This song makes everyone of us Aussies v emotional. So brilliant, written by Bruce Woodley, who is the male lead singer. He's genius.

    We are one. But we are many, and from all the lands on earth we come! That’s Australia, you’ve got to love it! That first instrument you hear, the sort of growling noise, is the didgeridoo, an instrument made and played by Aboriginal’s. It’s incredibly hard to play, you’ve got to kind of circular breathe.

As you've heard they are vocal harmony perfection & their unique sound is so warm & gorgeous. Their music speaks directly to our heart & soul. And Judith was the rare jewel, a beautiful lady who carried herself with dignity, a magnificent singer & a wonderful human being, we will always miss her. Best wishes

    Makes me happy to hear people like you recognise such talent and show the emotion that you do, because the seekers have been a pivotal part of my life since I was a child, and I wept and wept when I heard the news about her death. What a loss. but her and the seekers left a fantastic legacy for us all in the music that they wrote and played.

    The Seekers were another great Australian folk pop band from the 60's. Judith Durham had such a beautiful voice. She just passed away recently. They had so many great hits including "I'll Never Find Another You", "Georgy Girl", "The Carnival Is Over", "A World Of Our Own", "Morningtown Ride", "Someday, One Day" etc. They have beautiful voices & harmonies. They don't make nostalgic music like this anymore. Reminds me of a simpler time.

      Judith developed a chronic lung disease as a result of measles when she was four years old. She died on 6 August 2022 at 79. Olivia Newton John died a few days later, followed by Archie Roach, one of our indigenous singers who was stolen generation.

    It was their farewell performance and dear Judith had recently recovered from a stroke. She did sit for most of this but to hear her beautiful voice ring out across the concert hall still gave me chills. At the end the other members helped her to walk to the edge of the stage to receive the applause. She has since passed away but remains one of our Aussie sweethearts.

    The first few lines of the song I feel do need some clarity. Instead of being the first Australian at 40,000 years, it is much longer "Aboriginal Australians are the oldest known civilization on Earth, with ancestries stretching back roughly 75,000 years."
