[TheJKVW]

[airtouch01]

This is a pretty good song.. So laidback..

[BirdieWearsGumboots]

There's a storm where I am now, in Australia, and I'm on the verandah (kinda like a patio.)

So I have an excuse to listen to this song.

[TheZacdes]

@BirdieWearsGumboots Who needs one:)

[grenadatt34]

Some people don't even know that Australia is even a country 4 fuk sake

[TheZacdes]

@grenadatt34 yeh, their called YANKS,lol

[LavitoCascade]

Aussie and proud <3

[cherylw1958]

love that line - in convoys of silence the cattle graze - so poetic. I close my eyes and see them in their pastures. When you go overseas the first thing you miss is our gum trees there are no other trees like them in the world, so when i got to Greece i rejoiced in seeing them growing there. Also they are regarded as weeds in California and some americans find our bush scary thats why Wolf Creek ( the movie ) did so well in the USA, but still most want to come here. Best country in the world!

[TheZacdes]

@cherylw1958 Our bush....scary, bloody wimps!!!

[TheZacdes]

@cherylw1958 Jealous bastards, dont stop them bagging the crap out of us,lol Their loss, who would want the dogs anyway!!

[crazybones2009]

31 Kiwi's

[JACKiishuffler]

I miss home :'(

[koueihou]

This song is keeping me warm here in this chilly Europe winter with memories of Australia.

[Amunication]

The only thing wrong with Australians is that there's not enough of us, we need to get fucked!

[owen82100]

@Amunication We need to grow as a Leading World superpower, oh how nice that would be!

[Amunication]

@owen82100

we can start by becoming a republic and changing our flag ;)

[TheZacdes]

@Amunication Ime all for that, stuff the queen!!!

[bobri289]

@Amunication No we don't want any more... 22 million is enough. I don't want to live in a house with 2 square meters of floor space on a street with heaps of other tiny houses on it like in europe thanks.

[Amunication]

@bobri289

we can afford to grow bigger, about 35 million is a good number.

[bobri289]

@Amunication Yes, but we don't need to grow bigger.

[Amunication]

@bobri289

Ok fine, we can and will grow in population size (we are already from the birth rate and immigration) but we don't need to grow bigger in waistline LOL ;)

[Amunication]

@Amunication

even if you only count the inhabitable areas of Australia we're still bigger than ANY country in Europe (except russia) and with desalination and water recycling we can have the resources to sustain ourselves.

SO GET FUCKING!!!

[TheZacdes]

@Amunication Amen to that,lol

[isottadaidai]

BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD

[owen82100]

Sitting in my Backyard Sofa in the Middle of the Adelaide Metro area, seeing the Kookaburras fly by and hearing the Birds in my garden as its a nice 24 Degrees and the Rains are starting to come in.

[cherylw1958]

Brisbane the best city in the world followed by Florence Italy such beaty and storms

[philcassidy123]

i <3 Australia And proud to be born There

[tourpro62]

Right now I am on my verandah (it's an old queenslander, they don't have "patios") watching the lightning cracking over the canefields. I am sipping on Bundy liqueur over ice, it is about 5 minutes from sunset (not that you would know, it is so dark out) and the faces of my family are lit up by each lightning strike as we watch the storm. Yes, there is a certain texture, a certain smell....heavy days

[IntertubeTr0ll]

@tourpro62 Lucky prick (From a Victorian) :(

[sham8814]

@tourpro62 Ummm thats pot that ur smoking.

[hellbane391]

@tourpro62 ik man same here

[marciapwood]

[BroFresco]

@tourpro62 and on your laptop watching youtube whilst doing that? lol.

[khongbiet1000]

Non Australians might see this as a piece of entertainment.

Australians know the feel of what is sung.



[MrRangaz]

@khongbiet1000 I fully agree.

[nictonAus]

Just saw Cal and the boys play last night at Terrey Hills Tavern, Still brilliant after all these years! and if you have not checked out William live on the didge during this song - Simply unbelievable! Awesome gig boys.

[MrCriticOfAll]

Cane fires,black snow and four x cant beat Bundaberg for a place to live.

[Sean4670]

@MrCriticOfAll ,Bloody oath mate. I'm hearing ya.

Someone told me this song was written in Bundy in a old Queenslander on Elliot Heads Road.....ever heard that before? Be nice if it was true.

Enjoy your XXXX mate!

[MrCriticOfAll]

@Sean4670 No i have never heard that before but I can picture sitting out near Riverview or Innes Park sucking a few fourx and watching the cane burn.I used to live in Oceanview Place in Elliott heads.Cheers mate.

[misscarlaitaliano]

yeeh australia #1 country

[owataworld]

@stew0420, how can you feel bad for 'us' considering you haven't felt that 'certain texture, that certain smell'? Lots of foreigners would immediately associate the song with national pride, but I feel sorry for YOU that YOU haven't seen lightning crack over canefields, mate. """LOL""""

[peeboishere]

this song brings back many happy memories of a time in my life when i didn't know much about anything, and the radio seemed to play all of my dad's favourite songs

[stew0420]

WOW Dude really? I feel bad for you and your country sorry for anything i have said earlier. Yeah go Australia...........

LOL

[bleachissocool]

Australia is the awsomeest place ever. Bleach comes out 2 hours earlier than in the U.S.

[latenightlogic]

@bleachissocool no doubt talking about the first nirvana album.

[bleachissocool]

@latenightlogic

Lol of course...

And maybe the T.V. show?

But Nirvana is awesome.

[IntertubeTr0ll]

[christiansurf12]

[amayeze]

One and only Australia, best country in the world.

[TheDannii2011]

ture aussie

[stevemcarthur1981]

This is sooo Queensland!!

[mattBQ234]

WTF has you tube lost it

[biggdogg9911]

One of the great aussie songs of all time, I love it

[IanTC12]

Living in Queensland in the 80's this was my childhood :D

[jlebesis]

This is one of my ALL time favourite songs! Love this country.

[GRRAPTOR]

This was the first song I heard when I arrived in Australia in 1985. What great memories and great people were in store for me. I love you Austrailia!

[fokeil123]

Man!!! Love it

[monkeykilling1]

whenever I hear this it reminds me of the movie MAD WAX with Tommy Carroll & Ross Clarke Jones...great summer song! :)

[SimzySays420]

home of golden sand of bronze tits, this is australia

[comsympinko]

Seriously, this is awesome.

I tell people stories about living in Australia, then I show this video to them in order to better illustrate Australia in all its wonder and peculiarity.

The lyrics are about Queensland, but the soul is pure terra Australis incognita.

Advance Australia Fair!

[DressMeSlow]

i still think he's on a trampoline.....

[341464]

AUSTRALIA BLOWJOB

[Muskelman19]

I'm from Germany and this song makes me wanna go to Australia :D

Saxton Hale would be proud ^.^

[DressMeSlow]

is that guy on a trampoline for the whole song?

[comsympinko]

I'm a Yank who lived in Sydney for a year.

This song should be entitled "This Is Queensland."

Certainly didn't watch any lightning flashing o'er any cane fields in Kirribilli.

Or Melbourne.

Or Perth.

Or Canberra.

Or Hobart.

Or the Alice.

Lots around Port Douglas, tho...

[my2dragons]

@comsympinko that's coz it was written on the verandah of the "red beret hotel" Redlynch, Cairns, North Queensland....you were close when you were in Port Douglas lol I live in Redlynch and the "red beret" is our local watering hole :) love this country

[sluthy85]

@my2dragons The song is actually about or at least primarily inspired by Bundaberg (Mark Callaghan's family moved from England to Bundy when he was a teen). Ganggajang came back to Bundy earlier this year to do some flood relief shows.

Can you tell I'm from Bundy? :)

[purepulp]

@comsympinko You didn't go to the right places :D. Why would they be growing cane sugar in cities? I lived up in North Western Australia in the Kimberley and they have cane fields up there and huge monsoon rain storms.

[nintendo336]

Alright it's decided, I'm off to Australia!

[gangworld]

@JiveTurkeyGames Clearly a real winner!

[MrGoblin60]

"We watch the lightning crack over cane fields..." I lived in Cairns for 2 years and never saw lightning crack over cane fields once.

[FunnyNewsReporter]

AUSTRALIA IS THE BEST PLACE ON EARTH =)

[jaylen2577]

I Love being AUSTRALIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!



[PortandFreo]

I the singer the judge from that show 'Thank God your here'?

[MalllowD]

Aussie Classic!!!!! 

[Diannaagron1]

When i was in prep my school ues to sing this.

[browneye1967]

I love playing this song to myself whenever I return to Australia from overseas. it really does set the mood....

[joemulgrew]

Sorry but this sounds very bland and dull. It sounds like something we would put in for the Eurovision song contest which is crap.

[calcar16]

This song makes me think not only of Australia but also more Queensland. Does anyone agree??

[mrdundee1986]

@calcar16 I tend to aggree especialy when they sing about the cane fields

[nroles87]

@calcar16 Driving up and down either coastline. (East or West.)

[DonAmazzatutti]

@calcar16 I was told the setting for this song is Bundaberg which is a sugar-cane town so yes there is a Queensland connection.

[calcar16]

@DonAmazzatutti Sugar-cane fields are very Queensland. I went on a school trip to Mackay and watched The farmers light the fields on fire. Very pretty sight at night. But the ash goes for miles.

[TheZacdes]

@calcar16 Yep, def QLD!!!

[341464]

I'm here for DA AUSTRALIA video lol

[bigfirie]

LOVE this song! My 9 year old daughter was asking for me to play it yesterday. Its an absolute classic

[GolfermanProductions]

Should be Aussie Anthem.

[Deckardkun]

Australian Pride, SHE'll BE RIGHT!

[khongbiet1000]

This takes me back to a good time in Australian life.

[db2710]

Saw them live for the first time in nearly 20 years and they still kick it!

[Slynsmiley]

Do you have ANY idea how much beer I have drunk listening to this??

[thecaddyspace1]

checkout bogan vs wild on youtube!

[GRRAPTOR]

heard this on my first trip to Australia in 1985 and have always loved it.

[Slaya0Zombies1243]

this ciomment will randomly generate thumbs up.

[IntertubeTr0ll]

Also, this dude and Greg Graffin of Bad Religion are the only singers I know of that do the 'CHECK-KOW!'

[z0rgz0rg]

[Eshayzbra96]

Redgum is still better

[socksrock322]

one of my fav songs lol the first time i heard it was when i was watching a bush fire like 3ks from my house

[seekinside]

aww, was looking for the raw vid with the canefields and the mullets - it captured the edge and energy and atmosphere of the era ...

[albervin]

It was SOOOOOOOoooooo humid in Wollongong today!! No lightning ..... yet. A sea fog rolled in and reduced visibility so much you could not see the North end of Austinmer beach from the Southern end... Beer O'clock.

[MsJojo181]

Best Australia Day song great sounds gotta love it
