I know it was that long ago but it was a while ago not exactly last week. Aboriginals came to our school the otherweek and taught us about their culture because they said that they think of us as their children. I find that amazing since alot of our own familys don't want to think of us as children. I was just so used to the aboriginals i meet being racist towards me, either blamming ME personally for what happened and/or calling my friends terrorists because they are arabic.
For what happened to the Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islanders we can not control. It is 2009! There must be a treaty or an ending to all the racism between the white australians and the natives. I'm tired of being harrassed by the colour of my skin. I know thats what we did in the old days, but most things back then were wrong. two wrongs don't make a right.
you say old days as if it was ancient history you know horrible treatment happened to the Aboriginal people through 1978 thats not that far from now and did you know it took till 2008 to get an apology out to them...
there is a long road of recovery on the way and by time you die it probably still wont be healed...
just so ya know but i agree with you we need to love and not hate especially for something as dumb as skin colour
man i love this band sooo much, and i love Australia even with all its problems. because honestly every family has its problems, but we all find a way to look past that, and gain a love for one another. sorry for sounding corny
You can see into this song whatever you will... its STILL just a great song, all anger and hatred aside. This song celebrates Australia and everyone seems to forget that.
wiping out aboriginal australia was called assimalation. im sure alot of the ones called white also classed as wannabes who were put into homes such as burnside havila dalmar will understand its called the lied to and stolen generation
well I may be an "idiot" but I can read. Check out the sentence of my comment where it says "native Irishman" and then ask yourself the question again.

the aboriginal girl is gorgeous and has the justifying look of 'what the fark are you doin here?' I think she represents the true conscience of Australia. Shame about the reality; Australia holds the worst record for its treatment of it's natives ever. Long live Eddy Mabo man! (this comes from a native Irishman who knows about displacement)
Umm... we aren't proud of what we did, but we are still the greatest country in the world. I for one am so proud of being Australian! I love my country and would die for it. Yea sure we tried to destroy our natives, but that was actually the English who tried to wipe out the Aboriginals.
idiot.. how about american indians? thier land was even larger, and they had it stolen from them also. and unlike our aborigines they practically had thier population decimated. can YOU justify one denomination over another. stop trying to be so righteous over the internet and keep your opinions to yourself if you're going to talk so much.
lol very true most of the people that love australia seem to be the people who come from a different country really thats prob why it didnt do as well as it should have
the bass player came into my bottleshop and said when he was told he was to drunk to be served and i quote " dont u know who i am". yepppppp what a sandbag
such great guys to i met dan and rob when they were down in melb last year and they are the nicest, down-to-earth boys ever! i love them! can't wait to see them again in may!
awesum song along with snakeskin good to see western australia bands goin well think these boys from lockridge senior high im unsure but my cuz was there with them but who cares keep it up boys
im going to see gryoscope opening for the living end in sydney on may 8th. it's gonna be sweet! i've seen them both live at the same festival already but oh well.
i read in an interview with rob, that for the ending shot, the chopper was originally behind them, and so close that it propelled them forward, so much that it almost blew them all right off the edge, zoran was like cm's from going over!!
lol. Were you their friends? you'd better hope so now. haha. Thats why I dont make any enemies during school. Never know what they'll be or have when they are like... 25+ haha.
i dont get nova where i live...i get stupid star FM that play all crap (and heaps of ads) songs.... and i cant quite get triple j....goh but Gyroscope are awesome!
Wow this song is great. It sounds like Stop and Stare. I love this song i really want to cry and hold Nicole. I embrace her everytime this plays and i am forced into tears. OMG this is the best song
This song is so beautiful it is the best ever I've heard. I really want to cry and hold Nicole when this song plays. What a cool song it must be about someone in Australia. I love this song. I love the voice it's the coolest

Are you fucking serious? This is the WORST Australian song that will ever be written. The only people that could get anything from it are lobotomy out-patients. And the clip is bollocks.
This song reminds me of when I was in Rottnest Island, this is what happened - I was walking along the beach and I saw this girl with no arms or legs crying, I asked her whats wrong and she said, 'Because I have no limbs no guy will be interested in me and I will never experience what its like to make love.' So I gently picked her up and caringly carried her over to the beautiful, calm blue sea, then I threw her in and yelled out to her 'Now you have been well and truly fucked.'
Most of the people who complain about the past happenings weren't even alive then. You have no right, you lead a damn good life now.
Who cares anymore, I've learnt from my ancestors mistakes, maybe you should understand that.
Live in the now, work at preventing the next mass genocide!
