I want to apologise to all the unfortunate people who have to sing this at school. It really has about as much spirit as dry toast. I am truly sorry that your forefathers and foremothers could not come up with something better.
thank you so much!! i have the honor of singing the anthem at my school in november and this is the prettiest version i've heard!! ^_^ would u be able to send me a copy?? i would so appreicate it!! =) just let me know
@strangechild34 You should be able to download a MP3 version from YouTube. There are many free programs available online, just google 'download mp3 from youtube'. I have used these before and they work well with good quality sound. Best of luck singing the anthem... and well done!
@Haylee199886 You should talk to your school as the second verse is far more meaningful than the first - most schools sing both. Thanks for the comment Haylee
But i found that i barely hear it in my high school years besides those really important occasion. I missed the primary school assembly where the whole school stands up with respect. I wouldnt say it's a disgrace..the main verse is like the main one that everyone knows. And i think the 2nd verse was only added on not so long ago.
@Haylee199886 yeh, but we are australains and that is the anthem tho, if you know where im coming from? but if it was added not long ago i respect that.
@SwaySwayAngela i love it to, its beautiful, i love how it talks about the beauty of the nation and not about bombs or wars. hope to see it soon, btw your koalas are adorable ;)
@BwoodLegionAmb12 Thanks for the comment. Koala's are cute, but they are rarely seen in suburbia. They also smell pretty ordinary! I hope that you make it to Australia soon.
@HogwartsCastle I guess it is verses 2 and 5 which are controversial. Probably not so racist (poor wording from me), but now considered politically incorrect. Verse Two 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!" In joyful strains then let us sing "Advance Australia Fair!"
@paulecohen And verse 5... Verse Five 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!"
Thank you...This is a magical version of our anthem.

I like that it's clean with clear lyrics and the music accompaniment is nicely arranged. Thank you!

@nudle19 yeh all schools should have it, because we are Aussies and i didnt even know the whole thing, and that makes a disgrace.
