We may not have sailed the sea! but we walked over this great land, living from it's gifts as mother nature intended, not screwing it up, with freedom and health, not suffercated with tixons. yeah i may not be able to spell, but i am true to my word, i apreciate what i have, and what i have worked for now,, so here is to AUSTRALIA! Slim! your the best mate

[WARTHURSTY1]

[gwak2008]

[gwak2008]

it should be our anthem

[markgrewar]

[wembley05]

[rickandgordo]

[wembley05]

@rickandgordo Thakyou!! More of us need to be thankfull to live in this great land!

[casting819]

Thjis is to all you great Aussies. I was lucky enough to spend three weeks in your great country, what a beautiful land and wonderful people. Your hospitality could not have been better. Thank you to all who made me feel welcome. From a greatful Yank

[hags82]

you did us proud Slim!

[Roopalmer]

I want to keep it that way....

[victory2able]

good for you Colindominy welcome to Aus

[colindominy]

Every incoming migrant to this wonderful country of Oz .. especially from ravaged, law-of-the-jungle undeveloped third-world o'seas places, which seems to be where most of our newcomers are from these days ..  as part of a fundamental, pre-eminent acclimatisation / orientation education program .. should be required to complete a training schedule about what it means to be a committed, dinkum Australian .. & a true citizen of this great land .. which is built around Slim Dusty + this great song.

[colindominy]

Brilliant song .. legendary all-time Aussie singer / songwriter .. fab work by you, mrtibbs6912, in compiling this magnificent YT clip. Your love & affection for the subject-matter, for the musician & for the country, is self-evident in the quality of your work here. Congrats !! This great song should be a prime contender for Australia's alternate National Anthem .. alongside that wonderful Bruce Woodley / Dobe Newton number "We Are Australian". Won't ever happen though, sadly.

[bluegrasslives60]

Had some good aussie friends in Nam, think of them often!!!!!

[colindominy]

@bluegrasslives60 : good on you, mate !! We Aussies love you guys, too. Aussies & Yanks have fought, side-by-side, ever since the grim battlefields of northern France in WW1 .. a great mutual military tradition which is now almost 100 years old already. PS I see that you like Bluegrass Music. Maybe we should talk some more. Me .. I love Bluegrass + Blue Ridge Old Time Stringband Music .. I've been a hard-core, deep-set fan for 35 years ... Cheers.

[bluegrasslives60]

@colindominy Hi I do some picking but not as much as i use to, I am from eastern Ky down in the coal fields !!! I have been to a lot of places when i was in the army, met some aussies in vietnam and thought a lot of them and we became friends, I love Mountain music and bluegrass music, I pick guitar and mandolin and banjo and some dobro!! how bout you?

A lovely song performed by the great Slim Dusty. Enjoyed the beautiful pictures of Australia.

[302acr43]

Beautiful lyrics...

I've sailed the sea in search of freedom...

We've done us proud. To come this far. Through all the years to where we are.

Side by side. Hand in hand. We've lived and die for this great land...

Beautiful. And very patriotic.

From an American immigrant.

[gene6812]

[OldRottenDingo]

I MUST hear this song everyday !!!

[crownvicky]

I'm from Canada and Slim Dusty is known here. The Song and the photos are fantastic. The negative comments are not.. Keep up the Good Music it's The Sound Of The Soul Speaking.

[OldRottenDingo]

Slim we miss you so much.

[ARAMYAH]

slim dusty was the greatest representative of what is, pure down under music .....he wasn't afraid to sing with his own accent......thats what made him stand above the imitators in australia that use american accents...no disrespect to any americans...peace

[InformationMinister]

I second that!

[Gigolo8]

oh another of those fake profiles for Chinese propaganda eh?  Interesting as the chinese commit a form of genocide on anyone who wishes to be FREE

[InformationMinister]

And no aussies doesn't ryhme with pussies. I like how you dumb bastards blame us australians for the attacks on indian students, when it's the muslims doing it. Get a life you dumb bastard.

[InformationMinister]

My grandfather is a half caste, quite frankly i couldn't more proud of my nation.

[Gigolo8]

Just block the arsehole mate, it's another one of the Chinese ones trying to bait us and spread rumours - they're so poorly informed it's actually Funny

[InformationMinister]

Hahaha, ya know i don't think i've ever seen you swear before gig. I blocked him.

[Gigolo8]

NAh mate, I never fuckin swear, it's bad news ;)

[InformationMinister]

Well thank fucking christ for that mate. ;)
