I got to say, regardless of my Chilean and Russian background. I was born in Australia, and I will always call Australia my home. So lucky to be in this country.
i have been at the airport in the Qantas lounge at times when i have seen one of our Aussies go and then when one of our Aussies come home and this ad has come on each time they walk out of and in the door and it never leaves an Aussie's eye dry in the place at all
This really is the best version of this ad. The song and ad gives me goosebumps and brings a tear to my eyes, I love it :D For me, it's much more patriotic than our anthem - it should be our anthem.
this song and ad definitely makes me cry. Im not Australian but brings back memories of when I grew up in Sydney and Perth!! Makes me cry everytime. I hope to someday make Sydney my permanent home.
This is definitely the best airline commercial ever!!
Proper? Peter Allen's original lyrics used "Rio" instead of "Rome!" BTW, check out the UQ law student knockoff substituting "St Lucia" for "Australia" here on YouTube. It's great!

I remember seeing this song played live at the telstra dome back on 10/12/2005 for the volunteers from the Commonwealth games in Melbourne.

This is definitely the best one. I think the 2004 is the 2nd best.

Qantas changed it because they don't fly to Rio.
