Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free;
We've golden soil and wealth for toil;
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in nature’s gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In history’s page, let every stage
Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair.
Beneath our radiant Southern Cross,
We’ll toil with hearts and hands;
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands;
For those who’ve come across the seas
We’ve boundless plains to share;
With courage let us all combine
To Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair.

I'm not even Australian and I'm crying at the magnificence of this moment
I'm not Australian, but this anthem gives me goosebumps. Julie Anthony is amazing.
I love this land and anthem. It’s one of my favorites. I’m from Texas.

The best performance of the Australian anthem ever, this were the best Olympics ever!!!

You haven’t seen the 1988 bicentennial version 💪🏻
Oh how I’d love to go back to Sydney 2000. Such a magical time for us Sydney-siders. The world has changed and not for the better 😢
Just like us in UK, london2012 was a magical time
The following year all hell broke loose and we're still feeling the effects.
It has changel - and also to the better, not at least because of Sydney 2000, a fabulous combination of sports, common culture and landscape. Never forget.
@@graememorgan9278not quite….maybe if it had been in 1980-2000 era
This is amazing and awesome, I feel goosebumps because this is my first time to watch this video since I’m born 2000 in here Australia this is spectacular mate🇦🇺
And who here in 2024?
I'm an American but if I was Australian this would make me swell with national pride due to the rendition from Julie Anthony. Magnificent performance. I hope to visit Australia soon, after the pandemic.
I do hope you make it , in this mad mad mad mad mad mad mad mad world.
Seeing this live I was beside me self as an Australian. Fuck
Unfortunately we are on fire again atm, check back later.
Nah, only the western part is on fire, over here in Queensland we have sunny skies and are celebrating our 180th day of zero COVID-19 cases. We look forward to you visiting us once this is all over!
whenever you get the chance, come over mate!
24 years later and countless renditions since, this is STILL the best version of our anthem ever recorded....
Agreed. Hair on the back of your neck stuff.
Nope, there is one version better now th-cam.com/video/fEgpfB1Fu68/w-d-xo.htmlsi=toWPwqWwfXmMRlXt
20 years later, and it's yet to be topped.
Julie Anthony delivered one of the all time great performances of any national anthem...and on the biggest stage nonetheless. I remember watching it live - it gave me goosebumps then and it still does every time I see it again (I'm not even Australian). Absolutely beautiful.
Still gives me goosebumps
Easily the best singer of the Australian national anthem
She is just magnificent. One of the proudest moments of life standing there and hearing that.
Greetings from TEXAS! I have been to AUSTRALIA, and I hope to visit the Land Down Under again someday. My very best wishes to all the Aussies in AUSTRALIA and throughout the world.
Hello fellow texan! I hope this doesn't sound weird but I feel Texans and Australians are reallly similar people. Like majority white, cowboy culture massive deserts, etc. 😆
Hey son-of-a=gun. Did you know that the State of Western Australia is 4 times the size of Texas and the people there are twice as smart? An Israeli who helps control the US once told me this when I visited Tel Aviv looking for where Israel hid it's so-called Iraqi 'weapons of mass destruction' we all heard so much about so the US could invade yet another country on behalf of its Israeli masters.
@@starcorpvncjYes, I am quite aware that Western Australia is a very large area. I have been to Australia, including Perth, which is located in that state. Oh, by the way, I detect your anti-TEXAS sentiment; however, you're entitled to your opinion.
Zip zapper lol I get it I used to think this but u have to understand that the Americna people aren't corrupt its their politics that decided to go to war for no reason. 60% of the public said no and it sparked the largest protest in history, the Americans aren't stupid. Plus more Texans have a full 4 year college degree than Australians in terms of proportion of population. Their incomes are much better than us. Again the only thing they suck at is their politics and their inability to provide universal services like free education and healthcare, etc. But I understand ur opinion people just show Texas like that for no reason like it's kinda sad
@@sozbobthe2nd172 Ok. So, you're an Aussie? What part of Australia are you from? Of course, I don't always agree with everything the U.S. government does, especially with this "new" administration. This one is an utter embarrassment...to say the least!
I remember watching this. Very enjoyable and not filled with junk like other host cities have offered.
The greatest performance of that wonderful anthem you will ever hear, and the only national anthem rendition to get even close to Whitney Houston’s Star Spangled Banner. With love from England. Sensational from Julie Anthony, spine tingling and perfect my grandad would have loved this (born in Nyngan)
I was in Adelaide when this was on got friends to tape and watched later proud to be a aussie my homeland
The best rendition of Advance Australia Fair I've ever heard. Greetings from Poland. :-)
This amazing opening ceremony happened 20 years ago. How lucky to be an Australian!
For we are YOUNG and free!
Back when times were simpler and it was ok to be who you are.
Fuck Scott Morrison for changing history !
'Young'? People have been here 65,000 years.
@@matthewfleming726 For making it more accurate?
@@Elitist20 yup and didn’t manage to boil water until 1778.
@@Elitist20 So. Not as a country known as Australia, GET OVER IT
Come on Brisbane. Can’t wait to experience this in my home state. 🇦🇺
You got it, mate.
Your home state? Tell that to someone who cares.
Woot woot! Can't wait for 2032!!
The greatest Olympic opening..Bravo Australia (fair).
Greatest Olympic opening ever. (from USA)
I wonder how many non-Australians who were there were tempted to join in when Julie belted out the first verse?
Still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand to attention. The greatest national anthem and sung by its greatest performer. 💖
Greatest national anthem? Surely you jest. I guess you've never heard the Russian anthem.
God bless Australia 🇦🇺
Forever and ever
WHAT A night it was. Julie Anthony outstanding .
Putting aside our sports rivalries, we love Australians in South Africa. You've got such a beautiful country, dear Aussies. Much love from South Africa. Hope to visit your great country one day. Stay strong.
We would love to visit souh Africa one day, much love back! ~The Aussies
(south lol)
Spectaculars like that.
Will we ever see them again?😔
Yes!! BRISBANE 2032
Damn, I remember this. Was only 10 yo but this Olympics is forever THE Olympics for me. Kathy Freeman running, just wow.
just found this clip 20 years on...how great to be able to see the opening moments of our 2000 Olympics Games.
No one does Andvance Australia Fair better than Julie Anthony
Very impressive.
American here.
I think the "Australia Fair" is the most beautiful national anthem in the world... I love our "Star Spangled Banner" too, but this song has dynamic melodies, easier to sing and enjoy, and most of all BEAUTIFUL lyrics!!!! Love it!
It's advance Australia fair not the Australia fair
100% I love it but I’m biased as I’m Aussie and so proud when I hear it sung especially when Julie sings it she nails everytime.🇦🇺🥰🇦🇺🥰
Loved it .2024
Best Olympics EVER!
Luckiest country on earth! 🇦🇺
And I feel like the luckiest man to have been born here
Magical.
Thanks for sharing
so very proud
You might also look at the first choice of South Aussies like me, in the 1977 National Anthem plebiscite - the Song of Australia
Great
Julie Anthony's vocal is fantastic!
Human Nature and Julie Anthony did a great job.
Imagine the whinging nowadays about the flag, the anthem and even the symbolism of the stockmen/women.
Ya everyone will be offended 😂
I did notice what looked like some trans riders but on second thought they were probably butch looking stockladies.
hahaha 8:30 he doesn't know the second verse, to be fair to him I guess not many people do
I do I had to sing the national anthem every Monday assembly at primary school
@@ashadalidakis yeah idk how some people don't know but somehow yeah some don't
This performance of the Australian anthem by Julie Anthony was on par with Whitney Houston's performance of the Star Spangled Banner in the Super Bowl in 1991. I also think the Star Spangled Banner performance the next year by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir in Salt Lake City Winter Olympics as the tattered but still intact that flew on top of the World Trade Center as it fell on 9/11 was so amazing and heart rending for Americans, given the meaning of the song itself.
Julie Anthony has the voice of an angel. Whitney Houston is a screeching tuneless harridan.
@@ivandinsmore6217 I agree with you. God rest her soul, but I always thought Houston way overdid it that game.
Cool show about Australia
Amazing voice 😍💘
Un Fraterno ed Italico abbraccio al Popolo della Grande Australia.
That is very kind of you
Thank you we need it atm
Pre covid-19 days
Pre world trade centre 9/11 tragedy to be exact,since that day the world changed
Ido Asberger true, and lots will change after this pandemic also.
:( pray for humanity!
The amazing euphoria of it all came flooding back watching this today. Twenty years ago, I was one of the lucky ones to be part of this amazing segment riding my magnificent stock horse "Rebel", a memory I will cherish for ever. Being part of this History was truly an honour. Thank you to those who made this possible.
I absolutely loved this opening segment of the games. All the riders did an incredible and skillful job handling their mounts. The horses were beautiful and it brought tears to my eyes. i was so proud to be an Aussie that night. Well done to everyone involved.
@Vyktory Knight I was 54 when this went down and I echo your sentiments exactly.
Great job!
We have lost all this glory in this stupid modern liberal woke crap shit. I am an expat and I mourn for my homeland
I was there in the Stadium, up on level 6, northern end , three rows from the rail. Had great views of everything. Yes it does bring back great memories.
You will not see the Australian National Anthem sung better than by Julie Anthony. End of story.
th-cam.com/video/xTaw6oQmRdM/w-d-xo.html well I disagree. Because this was sung better

@@SkiizmBeatz Sorry mate...Had a listen, not even close...
Wow!
I was born 2000 and my dad missed it because he was one of the equestrian. I'm proud to be Australian❤️🇦🇺
Great story to pass on to your kids
I worked on the Games in Sydney and I don’t think there is a more stirring and defining moment of the 2000 Olympic Games Opening Ceremony than all of these stock horses coming out to the theme from the Man from Snowing River.
There was no better way to open the games than this
I hope those Olympic stock horses became legends in their stables. I would have hung photographs on the stable wall of their prime moment.
My favourite part was Slim Dusty singing Waltzing Matilda. Such an Australian icon ❤
I'm not Australian, but this is such a beautiful anthem indeed.❤
Good to see people are still watching this on 2021. I still think the Sydney Olympic opening has been the best ever. So proud to be an Aussie. The horses were magnificent not to mention our celebrities. The best ever.👍👍👍🌷🌷🌷❣️😄
A year before the Towers fell and the world changed. 1990-2000 was such a happy time. Even the political scandals were funny.
Time to pay back for tolerate ccp all these year.
We think that at our school we used to sing that song at our school hours in the morning as Ashwood School assembly is the represent our country who we are as school nations
@@jB-uc2iv Nice, Ashwood High School?
Human Nature: here have a good presentation of the anthem
Julie Anthony: im gonna end these boys entire careers
except their careers didn't end, and whos Julie Anthony?
@@Bernardo_ng1994 Who's Julie Anthony? Only the legendary Australian soprano and national treasure, and a mainstay of the Sydney Opera House for nearly 40 years.
Well, Human Nature were only providing the introduction to Julie Anthony, nobody was trying to pretend that they were the main event. I enjoyed both - Human Nature's beautiful harmonies, and then Dame Julie's epic operatic rendition.
@@theshillneckedlizard8364 well spoken shilly
Luckiest country on earth.
Proud to be Australian. May God bless Australia and all the peace loving Australians..
Apart from our Philippine National Anthem, the Australian National Anthem (Advance Australia Fair) is one of THE BEST anthems that I know of.
The best rendition of Advance Australia fair; best performance ever!!! The equivalent of Whitney Houston singing the US national anthem.
Oh no, much better than Whitney!
@@Jeni10 must be a wind up…
Exactly
Then Our Judith singing I Am Australian would be the best ever rendition of any song by anyone then
Watching this 22 years later still gives me goosebumps and tears of joy! Nowadays all these openings ceremonies are so high tech and holographic! But AUSTRALIA GAVE US EVERYTHING WE CALL AUSTRALIAN!
The Sydney philharmonic, stock horses, riders, The Man From Snowy River, Galloping horses, singing riders, Julia Anthony! MOST BLOODY AWESOME GAME IVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🙏🙏🙏
I agree. This is possibly the most authentic opening ceremony ever AND the best rendition of a national anthem ever. As an American, I am a bit jealous at how beautiful this anthem is.
Good Lord...How will Brisbane top this????
@@thatcher81 Me, too. Quite a difference between "those who come from distant shores we've boundless gifts to share" and a song celebrating war, genocide, slavery, and racism.
I love the sheepish grin of the young man on the horse at 8::30 realizing that he is on camera...I think this is the perfect representation of an Aussie with the wonderful strains of Advance Australia Fair in the background. I wonder i f he ever views this video again, now that he is probably about 50 years old?
This was a great performance, I think the best national anthem we’ve seen at an olympics
That's because it is the best national anthem in the world and Julie has one of the finest voices in the world.
Wasn’t this just the best time to be alive, particularly in Sydney. Just a happy positive time!
Omg julie singing the anthem gives me shivers still almost 20 years later. What a moment. We love you julie !! ❤️🇦🇺❤️
These poor Australians with these wildfires😩 America supports you 🇺🇸🇦🇺
We will always stand united together 🇦🇺 🇺🇸
I forgot about this, by far the best ever rendition of our national anthem. That and our magnificent flag are truly spectacular. Thank you Sydney for this. From Marvellous Melbourne. 🇦🇺👍🍺🍺
Best Olympic ever for ever
Such a nice anthem. From Canada 🇨🇦😊
Canada and Australia together. This was the best version of your anthem i heard. 🇨🇦🇦🇺
To all us Aussies out there, who do you think does the best rendition of the National Anthem? And why is it Julie Anthony?
Australia rules.
Because she sings it with passion and purity.
Because she's a classically trained soprano, not a pop singer, and so has the voice projection, breath control and phrasing to enable it to be sung with the power and passion it was meant to have
So proud, I'm Fijian but I live in Australia yet I'm so proud of the grand entrance. Just speaks so much of Australia.
Bloody oath!
Julie Anthony is the one who can sing the national anthem with any justice
Congratulations for your national holiday on 26th January Australia from your friends in Germany
Sven Heilborn Ja hans
Danke, herr Heilborn.
Sven Heilborn danke schoen Deutschland ❤️🇦🇺🇩🇪
strike1977 schon has an umlaut not an e although they practically mean the same thing
I firmly believe Julie Anthony gives one of the finest live performances by a singer ever done at this scale. Such a powerful voice that can soar above everything even until the end.
This must be the best performance of a national anthem at any Olympics. I am an American and this brings me to tears. AWESOME.
I'm an Australian and I wish our anthem had half the history and grandeur of the US anthem.
Our anthem is as weak as American beer and human nature butchered the beginning.
@@croweater6814 you sound like a very negative person, maybe you have eaten too many crows and now have a tummy ache
@@croweater6814 errm....the US anthem is based on a drinking song. :p "To Anacreon In Heaven" is indeed performed best with a glass of red wine and half smashed and a girl.
now grab a cup of _merlot_ , oil the vocal cords with some sips and give it a try :D
th-cam.com/video/ydAIdVKv84g/w-d-xo.html
@@rivenoak maybe true however the lyrics are something else entirely, there is only one national anthem more badass than the Americans and that would be the french. In both anthems a story is told about the character of the nation. The Australian national anthem doesn't describe the Australian nation it describes the land and tells you very little of the people.
Also I'm Aussie, so I'm grabbing a glass of Shiraz, not Merlot.
@@croweater6814 hey , we in EU import your australian shiraz :D
US and french anthems are so bloody and warlike. who wants that cruesome stuff all the time ?
better something like the australian and also the swedish one:
Thou ancient thou free and mountainous north
Thou quiet thou joyful beauty
I salut thee, loveliest land upon earth
Thy Sun, thy sky and thy green fields
Perfect Country, Perfect Anthem, Perfect Singer! And Amazing Voice!
Still the best games ever. Unfortunately, the end of the 10 year relative respite between the end of the Cold War and the beginning of the endless wars on terrorism.
Sitting here, watching this 20 years later and remembering 9-year-old me watching it live on TV.
I feel the same now as I did then.
I may not approve of how my country is run or of what certain politicians and industries are trying to do with it.
But I could not be more proud of our culture and our spirit.
Sixty thousand years of history and culture, camaraderie and bravery, resilience and resistance, strength and courage, lovable larrakin-ism and mateship.
Through fire, flood and famine, through war and economic woes, through the worst the world could throw at us, our spirit has NEVER been broken!
We're a melting pot of all cultures and tongues, we celebrate diversity and inclusivity. We never take ourselves too seriously and we're always equally ready for a bit of hard yakka or for a beer and a yarn.
We help each other and take pride in our strong sense of community. We're a little coarse at times but it's always in good fun. And despite the attempts of some to divide and discourage us we still stand strong together.
I love my country and all it stands for! I am PROUD to be Australian!
AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!
I was 9 at the time too! a great moment at the time
In 2020...at least your not from the US...
So glad this video touched your soul as I was one of the 120 riders and it was the most incredible moving experience to be a part of this and being in Sydney at the time it didn't matter where you were from, everyone was so friendly and happy no matter where you went.
Who cares about your political views?
Like all countries we may not always live up to our ideals and sometimes we fail badly but the important thing is for ordinary people to STRIVE each day to make a better future for ALL our citizens regardless of their skin tone, gender, religious beliefs, socio economic status and the myriad of differences that might seem to divide us. A truly prosperous nation aims for each one of its citizens have equal opportunities and access to basic human rights such as freedom, healthcare, a clean environment, education and a living wage.
Brisbane 2032 will have a hard time topping Sydney's rendition of the national anthem. How do you top this?
Who knows, the new generation might surprise us.
Play it again
Mirusia Loewerse, Amy Shark, Ten Tenors, Queensland Symphony Orchestra, Kate Miller-Heidke,
I dont think brisbane could beat the sydney olympics. After the fiasco with the common wealth games recently it was an embarrassment for Australia. Lets hope they can improve.
I'm old enough to remember the Los Angeles opening ceremony and they said at the time that Sydney would never be able to top that either. Well, obviously we did. I have every faith that the upcoming generation of Aussies will put on a show unequalled anywhere.
The Best performance I’ve heard of a national anthem even isn’t mine ( I’m from Mexico 🇲🇽 ). I memorized the lyric nowadays I can sing it.
Brisbane 2032 is nearer than Sydney 2000. Australia, once again your time to shine!
I love our national anthem. I don't understand the complaint about it at all. So meaningful.
Yes, you are girl. It's a girl's song.
Die Olympischen Spiele 2000 in Australien waren wirklich traumhaft, atemberaubend und grandios inszeniert und organisiert aufgestellt worden. 2000 der Beginn eines neuen Jahrhunderts aber auch eines neuen Jahrtausend wurde durch die Austragung der Millennium Spiele in Australien von der Eröffnungsfeier bis zur Schlussfeier nicht nur unvergessen und nahezu majestätisch von der australischen Bevölkerung umgesetzt, diese Millenium Spiele 2000 in Australien in Sydney bleiben mir auf jeden Fall auf Ewigkeiten positiv und atemberaubend in Erinnerung. Vielen lieben Dank Sydney und Australien für diese grandiosen Olympischen Spiele als sehr guter Start in das neue Jahrhundert aber auch ins neue Jahrtausend. G'day Australia...🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

I hope Julie Anthony sings in 2032 and go back to sing with Australian Singers on the Audience zone!
Yes!!! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
We can hope
No possibility, nowadays she is over 70 years and she's retired from her musical career since 2000.
Not going to happen. She is retired now and not in good health.
God, the horses and riders: greatest Olympic opening ever-and probably forever. Love you (USA)
and your most beautiful anthem.
For the opening ceremony of the Millennium Olympic Games they did possibly one of the most extravagant performances of our national anthem. Having been born in Sydney a month prior to the night of the opening ceremony, all I can say is that I am proud to be Australian. 🇦🇺❤️
Haha just in time 😅
I have never been more proud to call myself Australian than to hear this performance in this stadium during the Sydney Olympic Games. Patriotism in its most constructive sense was on full display during those years and we have so much more to be proud of than ashamed.
I really miss this event.. I want to turn back time
So do I.
don’t worry, they will come back in Brisbane in 2032! Let’s hope
Yes man me too
Advance Australia Fair! Wow! Julie Anthony has fantastic vocals!
The first part of the anthem literally made my heart melt and I’m pretty sure I am not the only one ps I am a Aussie too
If we talk about the anthem Julie anthem is the oficial voice no one like her peter macdowell wrote but Julie voice is the heart . NO ONE LIKE JULIE
Congratulations, Brisbane!
Post Olympics 2028 Vietnam will see you there!
Still the best opening ceremony I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a few.
Time you moved on then and made way for other people.
Great horses and fine Horsemanship !
Julie Anthony is to Australia
as Vera Lynn was to Great Britain ...
Her voice is absolutely amazing. So strong and so clear!
Best games ever!! Julie Anthony did such an amazing rendition of the anthem!!
Simply the best version of a countries national anthem... ever.
Oh how I yearn to relive those 2 magical weeks. We didn't know then how good life really was back then or how many terrible things would happen in the next 20 years.
How beatiful National anthem of Australia sings for Human Natural and Julie Anthony who LIVES AUSTRALIA.
👏👏👏👏👏👏 😘😘😘😘😘😘🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
LONG LIVE THE AUSTRALIANS

I'm an American who although I love Whitney Houston's rendition of "Star Spangled Banner"... This is probably my *favourite rendition or any anthem anywhere. It's stuck with me for 21 1/2 years and I really get goose flesh when I hear it.
*NB: (Family is not from the US, so I tend to use Commonwealth spellings.)
I enjoy listening to The Star-Spangled Banner always also.
Here is Whitney 30 years ago

And I also liike listening to God save the Queen and all other national anthems too.
