[DownUnderDoug]

John is my favorite country singer/songwriter, it is a great Aussie song. Cool photos and well put together video, good looking joint.

[co0kii]

"Give me a home among the gumtrees

With lots of *plum* trees"

With lots of gumtrees" 8) silly me

[paddyhird101]

[cajunangi08]

This is my feel good song. I loved Steve Irwin and all that he and his family stand for. I listen to this song when Ive had a bad day ...love it.

[1fortunatesonofa]

[pawzlecat]

I "mulled up" while listening to John Williamson play at the Gympie Muster. It was great !

[Tahlexia]

[Pigzodius]

why does the song have *boing boing* in it,it sounds funny

[spect8or]

@Pigzodius "boing" is the sound used to represent kangaroos bouncing, similar to how dogs go "woof woof" and donkeys "ee-aw"

[BeckySunshine17]

I love Australia :))

Crocs Rule! :D

[PuzzlEdd1]

Great vid, classic song!

[NickoRules17]

"why did they build the great wall of china dad?"

"too keep the rabbits out, too many rabbits in china"

[verticalsmurf]

Do Aus a favour and shoot the rabbits. Lean meat for the price of a bullet. Cook it quick and hot for cuts (it doesn't have much fat so it dries out quickly) or slowly on a low heat for rabbit stew. My parents grew up in Sydney eating rabbit, my Dad even became a Rabbitohs fan because of some of the blokes he met who would push their carts around Sydney yelling 'Rabbitohs', people would buy their rabbits, just like we buy ice cream from the Home Ice cream vans. Home delivered lean meat.

[Sanzo84]

Lived in Melbourne, Oz from 1995 till 1999. Best years growing up in the best country in the world!

[GreensongOakheart]

Been a fan since my Mom sent the CD from AU. Makes me proud of yall down there. Keeping it real so to speak. Thanks for posting.

Bob Brown was working at a school that I used to go to I'm not if he's still working there though he was working there when I went there I was never taught by him though which is a shame

[rj5760]

Lets give credit to the actual songwriters of this song guys - Bob Brown & Wally Johnson and thanks of course to John Williamson for doing a great job with it.

[chocolatekara]

If this song doesn't make you feel good... NOTHING WILL! ♥

[agod2025]

I don't think its bong, I think hes saying 'BOING BOING.' Maybe I am wrong, but I highly doubt hes talking about a bong in this song...

[gitanerider]

@agod2025 after talking about mullin up you would never know!!

[Coolster6425]

@TheVampireNeo trust me, Australia is awesome! If im viewed as a criminal im proud of it! U must be a stupid kid with a big mouth. Respect australia. Bitch... Hahaha!!

[Coolster6425]

Luv being aussie!

[drpuki]

This sounds like the same version on an album I grew up listening to, except I remember one time, instead of "sheep or two", he says, "bong or two". Wonder if they edited it?

[BffMaddie8]

i don't love this song i justl ike it because it brings out Australia and what its like and im not being rude but i think Australia is one of the best countries out there :).

[FPSxMike]

Just Saying something we are in no way Li ke British in fact some British Will nickname us Convict cause thats what we are to them do you think Posh Bastards would Work their ass off for their house or anything

[liveyorehistory]

This is a Song about my house. i like it because I can relate to the words.

[EminemTrueKingOfRap]

Please No one hate me for this and flame me

I just don't like this song, I think its Pointless and has no taste, Sure it maybe Traditional and if thats why then I respect that

But to me Its Plain and a guy with an accent singing

No Offense to anybody If I did im really Sorry

[ozzyguy67]

@EminemTrueKingOfRap

1. A person who likes rap will not like this type of music.

2. A migrant will not like this music.

3. Why comment saying that?

[KingDezza09]

i fukden love john williamson i hope he continusse his career

[trentfrompunchy]

this song should be the australian national anthem

[soccerjuke4]

@trentfrompunchy lol that would be cool, but no

[itsnathangee]

[TheVampireNeo]

@SimNationStation Im Manx and I went to Australia for 2 years hated every bit of it. The people you see when you go to Hotels on holidays areactors paid to be kind if you aint got family out there its crap! abit like england XD

[bigrod29]

@TheVampireNeo You must of stayed up some old mans smelly anus when you visited, Australia is nothing like England, and as for hotel staff being actors... not worth commenting on

[TheVampireNeo]

@bigrod29 See You have prove my Point Im Manx Not English and I stayed in NSW and To be honest You're Not Worth Commenting On!

[bigrod29]

@TheVampireNeo You bitch...lol

[ozzyguy67]

@TheVampireNeo Are you fucking retarded? Go back to sleep pom.

[TheVampireNeo]

@ozzyguy67 This is the Truth of all the australians! nothing more then criminal simpletons.

[Haddyskelly]

@TheVampireNeo And yet, after just over 200 years of European settlement, we've been classed as one of the best countries to live in - in the whole world.

If that's the way we're viewed then I'm proud to be a "criminal simpleton". :]

[ozzyguy67]

@TheVampireNeo Whats true? Make sense fuckhead.

[bigrod29]

@TheVampireNeo Well aren't you a silly little boy, what a stupid comment to make, i feel like throwing and kicking you around for a while like a rag doll.

[billbo59z]

Ive always listend to John Williamson since i was a little kid. Latley me and my dad were looking throught our cd's and we miss the song were it goes "red sunset and watch the barwon river rise" Its called Coolbah Blue or Coolbah tree.. CAN SOMONE PLEASE SEND ME A LINK  TO THE SONG??

[MrGrog88]

ill take a home among the gum trees over a big mansion anyday

[Sopez1]

PART2 : At that time the Australian government was proposing a song writing contest to have a new national anthem following the decision to scrap "God Save the Queen," and this song was their response. In 1982, the bush band, Bullamakanka, found a copy of the album in a sale bin in a music shop, recorded a cover and found they had a hit on their hands. It was later recorded by John Williamson, making the song even more popular,

[Sopez1]

Bob Brown, also known as Captain Rock, wrote this song with Wally Johnson in 1975, and first recorded it on his album "Buried Treasure." Though many people take it seriously these days it was written as a satirical song and originally performed as part of a comedy act they were doing at the Flying Trapeze Cafe in Fitzroy, Melbourne.

[YargDisease]

I wish I was from Australia. Where people like Steve Irwin come from.

[Ozgirl2307]

@YargDisease It sure is great ouo

[YargDisease]

Got a tape of this bloke somewhere but it's worn out. Full of funny songs &some more serious old folk songs. Was given in 20 years ago when I was in Oz &I think it had the Wired World of Sports on the other side. Been trying to track down this bloke's name for years but I think it is John Williamson - I remember the song Big Bad Bush Bush Ranger. Would love to find some more of his stuff posted on YouTube but don't have any myself & wouldn't know how. Anyway, I agree, he's superb - Dave, London

[maddieeCF]

Grew up listening to John Williamson, proud to be aussie :D
