Beautiful song! Whether you're native to Australia or you're a transplant from another country, it's a wonderfully patriotic song that represents every aspect of Australia.
I love this anthem. I am an American but I can tell that Australians are fiercely proud of their heritage - Aborigines and "convicts" alike. I absolutely adore The Seeker Seekers. Would love to visit one day.
Oh God Let it go already... its so worn and Boring.. FFS.. flick the chip of the sholder and make the most of what is NOW... not what happened over 200 friggen years ago.
I would like this to be our National Anthem, however this version, cuts out the first verse... Re my people the FIRST Australians. BTW Abo, is a derogetory term for Aboriginals, the abreviation is Abg. I realise some of our own people are conditioned to accept these terms, but it is not acceptable. As I said to the officer in charge of a Police Station once, if you put Abo for Aborigine, then you need to also put Cock for Caucasion.
But on a more healing note this song and "I still call Australia Home" are my choices to replace "Advance Australia FAIR". Auntie Karl - Whadjuk(Perth) Senior-Singer of Aboriginal Songs with Madjitil Moorna - We are learning Nyungar version of We Are Australian.
U know what, i actually started an email petition to get this changed to our national anthem, Not sure where it is now though but i think this really describes who we are and where we came from and how we bacame a nation
Thankyou for your kind words, My background is German and though i have never been to germany i know that is a beautiful place too and one day ill visit my family in Hamburg

Should be your anthem. It is a very powerful song and the Seekers are a national treasure. Bruce Woodley is a bit of alright.
