- The lyrics to 'I am Australian' were written in 1987 by Bruce Woodley of 'The Seekers' and Dobe Newton of 'The Bushwackers' and set to music composed by Bruce Woodley.
The Seekers were a group of musicians from Melbourne, Australia who came together in 1962. The recording was made during a Melbourne performance during their 25 Year Silver Jubilee Reunion Celebration tour in 1993.
Lead vocals: Bruce Woodley (guitar) & Judith Durham
Other vocals: Athol Guy (double bass) & Keith Potger (twelve string guitar) - บันเทิง
im aboriginal and a proud Australian from Alice Springs, I am happy that we are all Australian. 🖤💛❤🇦🇺 (gives me goosebumps everytime)
and happy that we share this beautiful country 🇦🇺❤💛🖤
❤
😍😍 I feel so blessed that 🇦🇺 has the aboriginal dream time stories that I learnt as a child. We are so lucky to have indigenous peoples culture in our beautiful country. I don't live at home at present but I always feel the Aussie spirit inside of me.
Respect to you ❤️ 🇦🇺
bless u brother we are all brothers and sisters on this rock we call home
I am an Indigenous Australian from
New South Wales
I love this...should be our
National Anthem
🖤💛❤🇦🇺
Absolutely! No song ever written better sums up a multicultural society and unifies it. Everyone who contributed to making this country what it is and will be in its 50,000 year journey is celebrated for what they bring.
Your right it should be our national anthem and I also live in NSW
this is the only other option imo
I agree! Wonderful song
ikr, fuck the current anthem, this song sounds way better
We don't need to divide this country by race - we need to be one - one Australia. This song makes me proud to be Australian and I firmly believe we are stronger together.
It doesn't matter what % of what nationality you are, ATSI or otherwise...we are ALL 100% Australian.
No votes won. This song should be played through Australia after we won
@@Jeffro5564 Idk no winning doesent say much for respecting the first nations people
@@sussyscylla3414 I think you’ll find a lot of First Nations people voted No too ! , the vote was racial segregation something they’ve fort against for years. The already have a voice as an Australian “ I am you are , we are Australian “ we can’t change the past but we can bloody well move forward otherwise we will still be in the same situation in another 200 years. Remember we waisted $450 million on this vote & just waisted another $250 million on monitoring convicted criminal refugees, it’s our government that’s lousy not the honest hard working Australians of every colour race & religion ✌️
Absolutely 💯
When I voted No, it was a No to race division.@@sussyscylla3414
I migrated in 1988. My tribe has increased with 2 Australian born daughters and 3 grandchildren. 🇦🇺🇵🇭 proud Filipino Australian ❤️ 💙 💖
I’m a first gen Aussie. My parents were born in Lebanon. Whenever I sing along with this song, I break down. We are so lucky to call this place home
Should be our national anthem. Has every significant aspect of Australian history. Incredible song.
Definitely agree as well. But the problem is Australia already has a great national anthem, Advance Australia Fair. So it would be hard to chose between both, and the public prefers the current. Its both ways for me. :/
***** The verses we dont sing in advance australian fair are all about how great the british are >.>
DoYouEvenScience Oh, I didn't know that. Are you sure?
Positive. Here is one of the verses.
When gallant Cook from Albion sail'd,
To trace wide oceans o'er,
True British courage bore him on,
Till he landed on our shore.
Then here he raised Old England's flag,
The standard of the brave;
With all her faults we love her still,
"Brittannia rules the wave!"
***** and another.
Shou'd foreign foe e'er sight our coast,
Or dare a foot to land,
We'll rouse to arms like sires of yore
To guard our native strand;
Brittannia then shall surely know,
Beyond wide ocean's roll,
Her sons in fair Australia's land
Still keep a British soul.
In joyful strains the let us sing
"Advance Australia fair!"
I came to Australia 20 years ago as a Chinese international student, I graduated from university, build my career, married, and have my child. I am very grateful for what Australia gives and I am very proud to be an Australian.
I don’t wanna ruin it for you buttt… the government and oil business is hella corrupt in Australia. But other then that Aus is Kool.
@@letsdoodlesomethinghome3404 You will hardly find any place that is not corrupt.
Proud to have you as a fellow Aussie. We're lucky to have you.
My favourite Australian was formally Chinese. And now the comedian Aaron Chen is every bit as Australian as I am.
@@letsdoodlesomethinghome3404 its the same everywhere.
My family came to Australia 132 years ago. I am proud to be an Australian.
Just became an Australian today, this song actually brings tears to my eyes.
I know this is really late but congratulations
Every fucking time i listen to it
BlueAnimations BAHA no its not! This is the original! :)
hope its all been going well for you!
Welcome to Australia!
I was born in Chile but have being here for 46 years and I love this country, so proud to call myself AUSTRALIAN. 😘❤️🇦🇺👵🏻
A paper can call you an immigrant, chilean, foreigner, newcomer, but in your heart and mine, we are australian!
We are glad to have you :)
On ya barb 🙂 my brother in law is from chilli
Love this country proud to be Australian mate from Melbourne 🇦🇺
Ohh that cool but me l come for Africa but now l live in Australia is very good
I was born in England and came here as a ten pound pomme with my Mum and Dad when I was 5. I am now 70 and have experienced floods, droughts, heat, flies and bushfires. I have seen Australia grow, and have seen her people struggle to eek out a living, while never giving up. I have seen her young men go off to war too many times. But this song to be epitomizes everything that is Australian. I am proud to call myself an Australian.
Me too
You are a true blue aussie!!
I visited Australia for six weeks and could hardly wait to get out of the place.
We're lucky to have you.
God bless you mate. 💚💚🙏🏻🙏🏻🕊🕊🇦🇺🇦🇺
Who is listening on Australia Day 2021, and agree that this should be our anthem.
YesI am Lebanese but I’m proud to live in Australia 🇦🇺 I respect the country and I do think this should be our anthem
No one but you
this SHOULD be OUR National Anthem
Definitely
I reckon most of us would agree with you
Yo dude let's keep communism out of Australia k?
This is one of our unofficial ones lol.
Idiot
Why isn't this our national anthem!?
+Harry Oldaker true
true
i love this song
It's just 1 min more than our national anthem and we don't even sing the whole song anyway we could just sing the chorus or something. But it's true this is much better than our national anthem, but I think they are keeping it because it has been our national anthem for over 43 years. If this song was written in 1973 I think it would have definitely been our national anthem.
+Harry Oldaker this or waltzing matilda
Today I have become a full-fledged Australian. I am and forever will be grateful to this beautiful country.
Welcome mate hope you can make a good life here. 🇦🇺❤️
@@sharpshooter_Aus thanks man! I'll do my best.
congrats mate! hope life goes well
Good for you, becoming australian is the proof of love and devotion for this country like believing for people and unity of the land
shut up
I have watched videos of Americans reacting to all things Australian. When I watch them react to this unbelievable song, they admit to having a lump in their throat and on the verge of tears. If you are not moved by this song, you are not human.
I'm Japanese, but I learned this song when I was high school studet. I love this song! I always get energy from this song!!
Thank you!!
You've got the heart of an Aussie mate. Japan is a great country. 👍
Yo
I came from germany as a two year old we settled here and made this our country!! I AM YOU ARE WE ARE AUSTRALIAN!!
VOTE NO.
I'm Samoan but I have been in Australia my entire life, proud Aussie through and through. Blessed to call Australia my home ❤
I’m a Canadian…and we love our Aussie cousins….all of them
Despite our different climates, and subtle cultural differences, we are more similar by many observable metrics, and share more common values with one another than perhaps any other countries, even your southern neighbours. We love our Canadian mates too.
🧡😘😘👍🇭🇲
I am a 2nd generation Australian who comes from a Muslim Turkish family. I love being an Australian and the safe haven it provides me with. I am grateful for the opportunities I am given everyday in this country.. To work, to eat good food, to sleep in a comfortable bed, to live under a good shelter, to receive an education and to be most importantly be free. The beautiful beaches here and the wonderful weather. Nothing beats Australia. I am proud to be Australian 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺💙💙💙💙💙💚💛
We're glad to have ya mate 🙂
Tayzonday95 Thank you! I am glad to be here with people like you
Good on you Mate.
Thats awesome mate keep safe
Good Man U mate
Happy Australia Day Australia we are 1 ❤️ And many .❤️❤️❤️🙏
Born in Australia (from Greek parents) .... now living in Greece. But my heart and soul will always be in Australia.
This song makes me proud to be an Australian.
+Joyce Capewell Isn't that pretty much every country at some point. I'm an Australian but lived my life in NZ, I'm proud to be both despite the bad things for both countries. Every country has their pros and cons but this song just makes me feel more connected to Australia, maybe it's just because I grew up with the song, that and Waltzing Matilda.
Both songs are hypocrisy 'colonialism lies'. Excuses for 'colonialism Apartheid terrorism'
is not something to b proud about.
+Joyce Capewell Somehow I get the feeling nobody loves you very much, poor Joyce!
Poor Lazarus - somehow I get the feeling you do not love the truth.
+Joyce Capewell I do, that's why I recon nobody loves you!
Hold The Line!!!!
I'm an American who has rubbed elbows with many an Aussie including a visiting Digger in their Army during my military service. I have only the highest respect for you folks down under.
This song makes me so proud to be Australian...
This should unequivocally be Australia's National Anthem, I saw The Seekers at their final concert and yes unlike John Farnham it really was their final concert and when they played this the audience went absolutely crazy with pride and joy of being proud Australians.

VOTE NO. NO DIVISION.
agreed
Does anyone else wanna cry each time…?
...I honestly think that this should've been our National Anthem.
Such a great song and video, it should be played Every Australia Day. 🐸
EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! 😭😭😭🤣🧡👍🇭🇲
VOTE NO. NO DIVISION.
I am not an Australian but this song still brings tears to my eyes
Amen, I am not Australian either but we thank God for your friendship and support that you give us Americans 🇺🇸❤️🇦🇺.
This is our national anthem to me!! So proud to call myself an Aussie 🇦🇺
I came to live in Australia in 2011. And I one thing that I want to say is that I'm grateful to Australia for accepting me. Really great people here. They are the most sincere and open people in the world. Not the most soft-speaking and a bit rough around the edges at times, but definitely genuine, straight and hard working ones, they are.
I'm proud to call myself an Aussie.
I really am glad to hear that. I loved it too, but hated the way their native people were treated - worse than happened in Nazi Germany but because of the way it was done , it was acceptable- same in Canada etc., etc., Anyway, like all my friends at the time ("80s) we all had a good time , and worked hard while on Oz but nothing could compare to Irish people and culture , so we returned Been back twice and although loved the out back and sea . The political situation leaves a lot to be desired along with now being one of the most expensive places to live . So we feel here, like you do that we live in the best country in the world. ❤
Albert Abuzarov ❤️ 🇦🇺 thank you for your kind words😊
Thank you 🙏😁
Albert Abuzarov thank you😀😜
Carmel Bergin cry me a river. Can’t change the past. Step to the future. Get out of your hole mate.
My late dad served in the US Navy during the Korean War and always spoke highly of the Aussies.

I’m of Dutch descent, but this song makes me so proud to be Australian, long live Australia ❤️
Awesome :) welcome to Australia. I am irish descent my ancestors spoke an ancient old language but whenever I go back to ireland I feel like I am going home strange feeling that I had never been to ireland before but I was going home. Australia is our home. I have an aussie accent. My irish accent can be heard too.
@@onemanwolfpack3386 I am second generation Aussie from Corke. Never been to Ireland half the family still there.
Proud to be an aussie. I may not be a native, but I respect the aboriginal culture, your ancestors may have been convicts but they made this place as home, we all should be as one, and not let anyone take that away from us. We are AUSTRALIAN!!!!
This song makes me proud to be an Australian.
Does anyone else wanna cry each time…?
Isaac A Vazquez - Yes - I cried & I'm a New Zealander!! Popped up on my U-Tube after our Carnivorous Update & the song turned me into a blubbering mess. Stay well.
This country give me everything love u Australia and my Aussie friends
And all people who living in this paradise
God bless you Australia
I'm Iranian but Australia my country
Glad to have you mate 🙌
Welcome to Australia my friend
Too right mate... we are all guests in this country and are the luckiest people in the world. Lets keep it that way.
I'm Arab and Australia is my country, I'll live for Australia and ill die for Australia.
@@ModernHistory1 You're just another bonza Aussie mate.
With the passing of Judith this song is even more important to our great country.
As a Papua New Guinean, I have to agree with the others that this should be Australia's National anthem ♥️
If australia Annexed Papau new guinea would you care?
@@Dylan-bc2po I bet his answer would've been a no since this song will have no sort of significance in PNG. Then again, if Australia had annexed PNG back in 1975 instead of giving it independence, who knows how *Aussie-nised* PNG could've been.
Of course, I don't know if an *Aussie-nised* PNG will see this song with more significance than say... a Kiwi across the Tasman XD
Does anyone else wanna cry each time…?
Almost.. But mostly I wanna look at the sky and dance =P
Tiffany W yeah ;;
😭
i did. haha
OMG yes and I've always wondered why lol
Not Australian but I could still feel the patriotism in this song. What a beautiful song it is! What a wonderful message!
I truly agree with you, spiritually
Yeah
VOTE NO to the devisive voice
I am, you are WE ARE AUSTRALIAN
Thumbs up if you remember way back when we were one... We were Australian. 😭
I saw the Seekers play their final concert, besides being a brilliant band with so many magnificent songs, the audience all roared with pride, Vote for this song for 100 percent of ALL to be our new national anthem.
Was that concert in Brisbane? I saw them in Adelaide but my wife was back in the Philippines so I took her to Brisbane weeks later for what I'm pretty sure was their last concert. It deserves to be our national anthem by far but how would you compress a 4.5 minute song with all it covers into under a minute for an anthem?
God bless Australia, sending prayers to the victims of bushfire, stay strong Australians!
Thank you for supporting my country
@Darren Royal God bless everyone, we are the world
@@ginapoulos5649 I am proud to be one of your fellows, spent my good 10 years in Down Under.

Adopted Australian here, has anyone actually listened to this song before criticising Australia Day? God bless Australia and the great nation we live in 🙏
I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SHARE ONE OF MY BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE IN AUSTRALIA.
We were new here in 2004 just moved from U.A.E.
as we are originally Indians but were living in U.A.E for 20 plus years and all kids were born and brought up there.
When my eldest son was 18 yrs old and my husband decided to move some secure and good country for kids future...and so we decided to move to Australia, and we were here than on Business and investors Visa..
My youngest Daughter was than 7 yrs old and was in Grade 2, She attended her School, it was her first or second week in new School in Australia,.. and Teacher in Class was teaching them
"THAT WE ARE ALL AUSTRALIAN, WE SHOULD RESPECT OUR COUNTRY, WE SHOULD LOVE OUR COUNTRY".
and my Daughter told her Teacher ,I am not AN AUSTRALIAN, I was born in MID-EAST,
I AM AN INDO-ARAB GIRL....WHY SHOULD I LOVE THIS COUNTRY,
MY FRIENDS ARE ALL IN MID-EAST,...I AM ALL ALONE IN HERE,....I HATE TO BE HERE,
her Teacher called me and told me about what had happened in the classroom,
I explained her ,we have just moved here, she misses everything she had left back, KINDLY PLEASE help me and my Daughter..
The Teacher was so much AMAZINGLY GOOD, UNDERSTANDING my situation , she immediately told OK "MRS R" you don't worry we will take care of this, WE are TRAINED to handle this SITUATION and she promised me
"YOUR DAUGHTER WILL START CALLING HERSELF SOON I AM AN AUSTRALIAN GIRL."
I THANKED HER, but was still worried how can I help my girl feel home here , BUT to my amaze when she came home from school, she was different and was so much HAPPY, telling me MOMMY my Teacher "MRS BROWN" have given me a singing part in my School Concert...
I have to learn this SONG, come mother help me memorize this part of song... I told ok what's the song is show me... and this was the song. The words of this song made me cry..
.it made me ALSO feel that we belong here.. and made me love this country more n more n more forever..
"WE ARE ONE BUT WE ARE MANY
AND FROM ALL THE LAND OF EARTH WE COME
WE SHARE A DREAM AND SING WITH ONE VOICE
"I AM , YOU ARE, WE ARE AUSTRALIAN"
and really from that time my girl started making new Friends in school , she started to stay HAPPY..
I THANKED TO TEACHER AND TOLD HER I AM REALLY VERY GRATEFUL TO HER.
I APPRECIATE HER KINDNESS..
she had given me so big huge PEACE of mind and soul...
MAY SHE GETS ALL THE BLESSINGS OF GOD FOREVER N EVER FOR HER.
.no words can thank her ... cant thank her in words...
now my Girl is working with Bank full time and studying her masters and she is so happy ,calling her self a proud AUSTRALIAN GIRL...
A seven years old girl is now 25 years old ...she don't even remember how was the Country where she was born, she call AUSTRALIA IS MY COUNTRY, AUSTRALIA IS MY HOME, AUSTRALIA IS ONLY LAND I KNOW IN THIS WORLD...
HOPE EVERYTHING IN OUR LIFE GOES WELL N HAPPY I JUST WISH THIS ...
. her graduation clip is in my page... shared there ...
Beautiful story for you to treasure !
Welcome home Aussie friends. That was a beautiful story.
Beautiful story!
What an AWESOME story.
Just got over the tears of listening to the song (again, for the 1000th time) and now I'm wiping fresh tears!!!.🤣
@@yvonnecaldwell6088, me, too, on both counts!
...I honestly think that this should've been our National Anthem.
Taking suggestions mate, got any bangers in mind?
@@australia3963 mate, the only Bangers I have in mind are the pork and fennel ones I'm about to absolutely destroy.
@@Mistshock You little ripper
It's slightly hard to memorise
Charcol's Trash Vlogs not the whole song, probably the first two verses, but especially the last chorus
A perfect song to replace our current National Anthem.
Our National Anthem could be better

not
Ironpuddy yep..
PhoenixGryphonn I agree....even my mum agrees
Three generations here. We came from English Irish migration by our brave ancestors in the eighteen hundreds. We love our sunburnt country ♥

A mate once asked me why did you serve in the army, I played this to him, and said if you understand this, then you understand why I served!
Thank you for your service
They are values worth defending. Thank you for your service to our great nation. At the end of the day, it takes another level of commitment and bravery to do that. I hope you came through ok. I know not all of your fellow service men and women have.
I respect you all.
Rest in peace Judith Georgy Girl Durham 😥

So sad to think that Judith Durham is no longer with us. May she RIP.
My son was in the Australian Youth Choir and they used to sing it proudly. We ARE one!! Aboriginal, White or whatever and wherever we came from or when we arrived and we should be glad to be here and share this great country equally. Let's stay free from hate and the problems some of us left to be here, not bring them with us.
Even though i didn’t come from Australia im still a part of that country and im proud of who i am i can be an Australian now
here is an excellent example of people who are good with words.
Powerful lyrics, gorgeous music. I get goosebumps to the point I cry every time I listen to this. I'm not Australian or ever been to Australia.
ME TOO. VOTE NO. NO DIVISION.
We won with no vote woohoo
@@evemisan1108 NO recognition to what happened to the first nations people either. The voice was not that dividing, bodies like it already existed just not permanent so the liberals could get rid of it when they felt like being a little racist. The only people making it dividing where the people saying it was
Remember when this song could move every Australian in the room?
Bring those days back.
Happy Australia day.
Still brings me to tears.
Happy Australia Day.
This song makes me shiver and cry at the same time. This is our place on Earth. Australia is our home.
I AM NOT AUSTRALIAN BUT I LOVE AUSTRALIA...IT WAS DREAM FOR ME TO LIVE THERE... :::))) I AM NEARLY 60... I AM JUST LISTENING YOUR MUSIC TO REMEMBER MY DREAMS... HAPPY LIFE THERE...
I am so sad to see this song and then look at how divided our BEAUTIFULLY country is 😭. I wait and pray for the day we truely untied.
Hopefully we can make it change. But we all need to speak up to make the Aussie Spirit return. I cry with ya mate 😭
@xSeparatist That was fucking beautiful. But we all know our media will try and censor it so they can go fuck them selfs. Thanks for showing me this mate
Bless the beautiful & brave brothers & sisters of Australia out there fighting against tyranny!!!! ✨💛🙏💛✨
You give the world hope!!!! It's We The People of Earth against the Nwo!!!

i’m going to be a Australian citizen and i’m soo happy to be a Australian citizen when I heard this song
Welcome 🎉
This song makes me proud to be Australian
I came from the dream-time
From the dusty red-soil plains
I am the ancient heart
The keeper of the flame
I stood upon the rocky shores
I watched the tall ships come
For forty thousand years I've been
The first Australian
I came upon the prison ship
Bowed down by iron chains
I bought the land, endured the lash
And waited for the rains
I'm a settler, I'm a farmer's wife
On a dry and barren run
A convict, then a free man
I became Australian
I'm the daughter of a digger
Who sought the mother lode
The girl became a woman
On the long and dusty road
I'm a child of the Depression
I saw the good times come
I'm a bushie, I'm a battler
I am Australian
We are one, but we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come
We'll share a dream and sing with one voice
"I am, you are, we are Australian"
I'm a teller of stories
I'm a singer of songs
I am Albert Namatjira
And I paint the ghostly gums
I'm Clancy on his horse
I'm Ned Kelly on the run
I'm the one who waltzed Matilda
I am Australian
I'm the hot wind from the desert
I'm the black soil of the plains
I'm the mountains and the valleys
I'm the drought and flooding rains
I am the rock, I am the sky
The rivers when they run
The spirit of this great land
I am Australian
We are one, but we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come
We'll share a dream and sing with one voice
"I am, you are, we are Australian"
We are one, but we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come
We'll share a dream and sing with one voice
"I am, you are, we are Australian"
"I am, you are, we are Australian"
Thanks for this!
Cool lyrics
It should be, "from this dry, red land we come"
Thanks for subtiltles
Ooh! Thank you!
I am Australian, born and raised here and when my time comes i will wish to be buried here in the land i call home. There is no other place in the world i will ever want to be in or be proud to live in
Die Stimme von Judith Durham erschlägt mich seit den 60er Jahren. Unglaublich!

We're proud to be Australian.
Respect to Aussies from an American.
I've been saving up for 5 years to go to Australia and this song has helped me along the way - I'll see you in July! :)

How did you find Australia?
How was Australia? I will go some day.
LaVieEnRose so, were you pleased with your visit to our country?
I am an Indian. I have been lived here for 2 years. I couldn't forgot those beautiful days spend here with my hubby. I want to come back to Australia. I am not sure whether I will come back or not... But I will never forget Australian days. Love Australia🇦🇺
I love this song for me a11 Yr old australian I'm proud
This should be our national anthem. I am Croatian Volksdeutsche, but I was born in Wagga Wagga, New South Wales. I am an Australian and proud of it.
THIS SONG CAPTURES ALL OF US, IN UNIQUE VERSE AND WITH A UNIQUE POPULATION, WE ARE ALL AUSTRALIAN, NO MATTER WHERE WE CAME FROM.
Exactly. And if we weren't all different we would be bloody boring.
Born in Zimbabwe. Bred in Australia. Proud to call myself an Australian now. Best country on Earth!

sure is cobber
Any Australian will always be my brother or sister ❤
We need to hear this song more often ❤
Cried as new migrant, hearing son sing, learned at Glenferrie Primary School, Hawthorn. Vic, in prep, 1998. Proud Aussie now. Thanks Australia for everything. God Bless you.
Everytime we sang this song in school assembly my eyes would well up with tears. There's an Aussie spirit in all of us.
Why am i here, i was just trying to listen to i still call Australia home, i don't wanna cry, i don't wanna cry, im gonna cry.
Hearing Waltzing Matilda always brings tears to my eyes, especially when it is sung by John Williamson. It reminds me of the two months I spent downunder after my wonderful wife died unexpectedly. The Aussies and the Kiwis are the most wonderful people on this earth. They are kind, compassionate and a lot of fun. They helped to bring me back to life.
The last photo of the Sydney Opera House is also a sweet reminder. That is the view from my hotel room. It is where I fell in love with Cio-Cio-San, where I watched the fireworks announcing Butterfly’s marriage to Pinkerton.
I don’t know how to thank you folks. To the Wallabies and Kiwis who read this, thank you so very much. I look forward to coming back.
I live in America and I was learning about Australia in class. They played the song for us and at the end of the song everyone was singing, "We are Australian!" And Amy, the only person in my class who was actually from Australian was like, "You're not Australian!" She had her own Q&A session, it was cool. :D
Anyone else feel sad/ashamed of the situation we are in now. Makes me sad. It’s so un Australian locking us up
Indeed it is no good
This song makes me proud of my Australian heritage that I don't have
Let it start now then, leave your australian legacy
Happy Australia Day 2023

I love this song too,it's the story of my ancestors who came in sailing ships from England and Ireland some in chains.
Love to Ireland from Australia.
