Kevin Borich on guitar?

[drongolips]

Agree with 'Fluffbunny' reminds me of Oz in the seventies driving through the unsealed road 'mulabar stereo blaring Kombi van bouncing all over the place .

Great times and then I foolishly came across to Gothic gloomy NZ and been here ever since wishing to F*** I had never moved in the first place.

Ah love, sweet bird of paradise makes you do funny things.

[darkallegiance666]

Beautiful clips for a beautiful song. : )

[marketjunior]

[saints964]

Saw him 14th August 2011, in Geelong, what glorious day, what a brilliant talent.

[mungobrass]

Australia is lucky to have Russell Morris and his classics. Incredible irony prevented his story becoming world-wide smash hits. Thanks Russell for your songs.

[johnnyinlaunie]

@mungobrass ....what was the irony in Russell's success??

[Skaramoosh5]

I lived in oz for a year, then had to come back to England, never cried so much in my life.

[DrVoiceful]

The dish!

[Aletranco]

"The Dish" final song. Fantastic.

[garyjknight]

Mate, thanks for the post. Great song, great pics and having grown up in Orange and Wilbriggie (near Griffith) in NSW I can relate to all the pics and I just love the song

[benjamion1]

[ozmedic]

[loadquicker]

I live in South Australia :) It's the best living here in Aus. Rock on dude. :)

[loadquicker]

If anyone at all can give me chords/tabs for this song I will be so appreciative! :)

[drongolips]

Reminds me of living in Melbourn /Ozz in the seventies what a great time to be alive peaceful times..

Sadly I moved to Penguin Land NZ 1974 and have been here ever since and have allways regretted it.

[CBGB49]

Rod R. Great song, great talent. I consider this in the three best Aussie songs of all time.

[CBGB49]

Rod R.  Great song. This is in my three greatest Aussie songs of all time

[mattcb73]

i just love this song

[AllTheJJJs]

I always associate this classic song with an RAAF recruitung ad, with an F111C flying over 8/8 cloud. Still in the Air Force now, so I guess Russell Morris was a 'life-changer' for me.

[GinaAlwaysHappy]

love your video, but I love Russell Morris more

loved him when this song was tops in his hey day, I was 9.

love him even more now. he sing even better today than in the 70's

[kjgoya777]

There was a time when things were simpler in Aus...this song is a wonderful expression of that. I remember this song as a kid, and i loved it so much. NOW, all we have is fear, anxiety and greed - good thing we all have good friends and great music to listen to huh? - thanks for posting it mate!

[kjgoya777]

He is brilliant - i love this song as i did when i was a kid....long, long time ago...

[toberwomble]

The photos were taken around Port Augusta and Qourn in the lower flinders ranges in S.A.

[toberwomble]

oops was meant to be Quorn

[djjohnnymusic]

@toberwomble

Know the area well myself. I used to DJ for Omega Disco based in Whyalla. We travelled all over Sth Aus - Ceduna, Roxby Downs, Coober Peddy, Port Pirie, etc... Lovely part of the world!

[locomotion60]

Does anybody know where this was taken? Such beautiful pictures of Australia.

[andrewstartin]

[buzzbox2nd]

[midnitekisss]

[cbfall]

Hey toberwomble! It's CBFALL! Beautiful video you made! Wonderful song!

[loveoffamily]

This is such a beautiful song!!! There´s no words for its beauty! I can´t understand why people don´t listen a music like this and they prefer... well, you know, what they prefer.. But I don´t want to write the names of the popular "singers" and "artists" under this amazing song... :-)

[NikkiRosita]

I remember him coming to visit, with my sis and being gobsmacked! Beautiful images.

[wolfmusic]

Works well mate...thanks for posting as this is one great tune that i had forgotten. What part of Aus are your photos from?

[kjgoya777]

This guy was and is still world class...

[Jeniwren59]

I remember being in primary school when this released and suddenly I found 'modern' music - and that 2GB wasn't the only Sydney radio station! Yay for 2MS :)

[MrPiha]

sweet!

[jamesthegee]

absolute top guy meet him at aconcert down to earth

[kazamataza]

I've seen Russell perform a few times - never ceases to amaze!! I'm sure people will still be listening to these classic songs in 50 years when most of us are gone. Wish I could leave such a legacy!!

[lyfft]

This is so magic song of longing, beauty, and melancholie....

[rallyausofficial]

the leyland brothers used this in one of there episodes were the propless plane glided across australia

its a very good song this

[crocfme]

Loved this as a 12 yo, was re-aquainted with it in the uniquely Australian "The Dish". You've done a superb job with the accompanying montage here. Ty.

[Australian123Gamer]

[mutantgenepool]

I love this song.

Thanks for posting it. Could have had some text on the pics to say where they are from, but cool anyway.

[shonga69au1]

[muzicanoz]

I heard him perform this live a few weeks ago and his voice seems even better now. Thanks for the lovely clip.

[stoptheshearing]

That isolated pic of the mount .... looks like a titty......?

[Agmates]

G'day Toberwomle,

I'm betting that the scenery is in South Australia somewhere near Port Augusta? I've featured it on the Agmates community Network. favorite it and 5 starred it for you. Well done.

[ShaneAdelaide]

I suspected the same thing, nearly all Flinders or near my scenes with some Adelaide pictures thrown in :) Great song and some excellent shots of the wonderful Flinders Ranges

[fjbutch]

@ShaneAdelaide Been there being an Adelaide lad myself... Used to catch scorpions near Mt Remarkable .... great song ....

[BEATNIKCASS]

@fjbutch .....yeah....me too with the adelaide....but i got out in time-----but now i kinda miss it.......the pool rooms anyway.......and 1960 henley beach........and sharon tanner.

[fjbutch]

@BEATNIKCASS Henley Square !.. certainly was a dive, and Port Adelaide Pool rooms. Wohhh! May have to go back for a visit.

[pissak]

Lovely song and it reminds me of a friend...i wonder where he is

[TheBlackDuk]

Another GREAT AUSSIE TALENT

[Chaffsamdylan]

[AliciaPTLAlicia]

You Aussie's and Kiwi's behave, this reminds me of high school, lol, will the last person to leave New Zealand turn out the light was what we used to say lol xx like sibling rivalry but we love each other, my kids are half Aussie and half Kiwi, so who does my son go for, The All Blacks lol

[wintercat2]

AU - NZ same shit different pile

[karelmeerbach]

maybe a New Zealander but had to come to Australia to make it and be appreciated..

[Aryanz0r]

hahaha E verything good that comes out of New Zealand, Aussie's steal, yet we give it back when they fall from grace :P

Finn<3 hahaha

[allumst]

Please note all you Aussies,Russell Morris is a New Zealander!!!!

[drongolips]

brilliant it brought back all my good memories of Melbourne in the 70s life was great.

Dave Addison

[frx209]

Haven't heard this for probably 35 years. Still sounds good.

[heerkrupp64]

You did a better job than if it was film clip tober, you cant beat the Aussie landscape , and Aussie artists Cheers.

[waldogasauraus]

Has there been a sweeter song ever recorded than this? Someone tell me I'm wrong.

[DJKimmy88]

One of the pioneers of Australian music - still as good today as he was then. I'm impressed!

[pietrom2]

I lived for 5 years in Broken Hill and the landscapes in this clip remind me of my time there. It is an amazing landscape and those plains remind me so much of Mundi Mundi plains outside Silverton. Beautiful! Great song too.

[tonydonna2]

saw russ and brian cadd in perth last year.didnt realise how many songs i knew. they blew me away.

[Spinnando]

I love this song, and The Dish!

[Wendells56]

Seeing Russell and Brian Cadd tonight cant wait

[tuabya]

absolutely off the beaten track, just seeing those emus reminded me of a funny story my 14 yr old daughter told me, here in NM,USA. A friend of hers received five baby emus for her birthday..., she was not amused. I was, though.

[doristhepig]

The photos are very australian,keep up the good work .

[sylucha89]

Simply beautiful song. Am I the only person, who thinks James Blunt has similar voice to Russell's in that song?

[wargolem27]

love the song and love Russ' voice, love the song rachels coming home too,Russ' voice has that haunting quality to it, I was sooo in love with him when i was young and boy was he spunky!! I'm a kiwi by the way.

[rjemca]

Definitely the greatest song from Russell Morris. What a perfect finale to the soundtrack of 'The Dish'.

Another of my favorites, my second all-time favorite, is 'Flower Garden' by Nick Lampe.

Although little known and obscure, it was a fantastic 1970 song. It didn't achieve much success elsewhere, but in Melbourne, it was a moderate hit.

There is a youtube video of him singing it, from a 1971 TV appearance. Don't miss it.

[latitudetwentyfive]

Having watched the dish on dvd and enjoyed the movie and this track I am delighted to have found the same version here. Well done toberwomble for this posting. Cheers

[rebecka2008]

nice song

[hartrung]

My favorite song. Being Australian, probably makes me bias.

[tkunioka]

Ah, Australian. That would explain how it got on to the soundtrack for, "The Dish," an Aussie movie about their Parkes radio telescope they used to communicate with the Apollo astronauts.

[111RUSSELL111]

my name is russell morris but i dont know a thing about this guy

[blueycarlton]

Charted December 1972

[ueblarp]

We were in ozzieland too.The song sure brings memories of the time when were there. Heard Russell Morris and this song over the radio back then. Those wah wah guitar lines when they ring out, its like going back in time....thanks for posting. (we brought his cd back)

[megsmad]

awesome song

thank you

[megsmad]

awesome song

awesome photos

thank you

[gbudhelix]

My family and I lived in Melbourne, when I was a kid between 1968 and 1977 before retuning to the USA. I remember this song very well as one of my favorites of all time. Thanks for posting and brining back many fond memories of Ozzieland!

[Wardenclyffeforever]

How perfectly did this song fit at the end of the dish? On the wings of an eagle?

[shellshot]

Thats where I found it as well! :) I loved that movie.

[maxwellgb]

Great to Play It again On **AUSTRALIA DAY** 26.01.08 Another one of Oz's Greatest.

[1970groupie]

saw him at Caseys nightclub, Melbourne about 18 years ago and he sang as well live as on record.

[wmac1991smiley]

awesome song. i sang it with him in the australian youth choir in the middle of 2006. very good!

[spaceace40]

I've been living here for 43 years and i have not seen the clip either. This is better then an old black & white film clip any day.

[spaceace40]

Well done mate

[DUSTMAN3007]
