I would love to visit Australia one day. I am a Canadian teacher in South Korea and teaching students about go to Australia, and I showed them this video and taught them about Australian history, aboriginals, Uluru, the bush country, the mix of cultures and restaurants in Sidney, Melbourne etc... I taught them some slang. I will make it a point to visit. I love this song. It's one of my favorite. And I love Albert Namatjira's paintings. Uluru is power.
That's Australia right there .. I wish every one can put aside their agendas and embrace what all our cultures do to create Australia the best country in the world.
I saw the rain on the Rock in March 2020 - before the impact of Covid19. It was a spectacular sight. I was surprised by the number of people had had worked in the area for at least two years and had never seen rain on the Rock. I was told only 1% of visitors get to see it rain on the Rock.
I shot all the exterior shots in Central Australia on my very first video camera, an old mini-DV tape Panasonic (1996 maybe?!) I still have it somewhere. Thanks John for asking me to do it, started my camera career really!
This too brings back so many memories for me , my first time in Australia I traveled from Canada where the temperature was minus 7%f wearing the clothes I traveled in I walked out side from the airport into an oven it was over 90% f what a shock ? I spent 6 weeks I total bliss visiting every where I could in such a short time along the west coast , I met many new friends, it was hard for me to leave and go back to Canada . The reverse happened on leaving Vancouver airport the drop in temperature again was another shock as I was still in my shorts and sandals! All in all a brilliant time , while in Australia , while on a prearranged 6 day safari with another group , the guide in the cassette player in the van we were traveling in played John williamson 's tapes my first time hearing him Brilliant and of course the first chance I got I bought a copy in a store in Cains, what a wonderful friendly place . That was in 1990 a few days after Christmas, I still play the tapes even now . A couple of my favourites , Bill the cat , the budgie song , True blue , boogie with M'Baby , just to mention a few . Wonderful 👍👍
It’s been an indigenous of Australia John Williamson and his mates singing absolutely spot on with the aboriginal culture I love the lyrics just makes me cry people put my ancestors down but hey they are got great singers I wish I was more indigenous singing and I have fantastic voices and John Wilson is an absolutely fantastic talent singer and bro you sing so well
This happened to be the song on the radio when I first had the realisation that bushfires of 09 were being beaten by the rain. 4 blokes I'd not met the week before were sitting on the back of some random towns tanker just enjoying the moment. I'd hate to go through that again. But that 3 min of glory ill remember all my life
Only went on holiday to Australia last year ( Sep-Oct 2018) but this song- by god, already it evokes wonderful memories of my 4 day tour to the Red Centre during my 3 week stay in an incredible country. God bless Australia, and all who live there and love their country, I will be back one day!

Anyone else feel extreme pride to be an Aussie listening to this!? She's a beauty. Thanks boys!
Love the lyrics. Beautiful. Or as us black fullas say “too deadly!” ✊🏿✊❤️🍻
The power of black & white together.

Let us forget the painful past, and let us respect each other. Whoever loves and respects our indigenous people is as great as this people.
One of my all time favourite songs. John an amazing song writer, and Warren a sensational voice.
+featuring Warren H. Williams a famous Indigenous artist in his own right!
I've stood there and watched while it was raining on the rock, so inspiring. Proud to be part of this great land.
Magnificent music capturing the essence of Australia
I love to see the two of them singing together, definitely Australian, thank you

Every time i hear this makes me homesick for the Alice, huge thumbs up John & Warren
Ye Australia needs one of John's songs as an anthem. And a flag of our own. As one of his songs suggest
