      He remained an Australian citizen throughout his life. His lesser known song, "Bryden's Song" is a good Australian song too, though it has bittersweet lyrics. Love your comment!

    Love much this song. I got emotional everytime I played and listened this song. Because I'm come from to a developing country like The Philippines and migrated in Australia 1991 for a greener pasture and to change my life that's why I'm very grateful and thankful to Australia for being my adopted Home.

      Yes, most of the so called TH-cam ‘reactions’ to this song are based on the Qantas ad.
      There was another one the other day from an American and I sort of spat the dummy and referred him to a Peter Allen version.
      We’ll see how that pans out.

    I went to his last concert in Brisbane in the 80's or maybe early 90's? with my mother, and it's a lovely memory with Mum. We moved later to better seats because there were a lot empty , and as a 7 yo I remember thinking why isnt it full. Of course, I didnt mind! Now being nostalgic, Peter Allen was not appreciated and followed for the talent he was because he was gay. Times have changed , but i feel sad for him, he was not treated with respect that he deserved. An Australian icon that lives through his music.
