1998 Qantas TVC-Australia Home II

[connorgraham16]

i just now realized something.. why would Quantas, an airline travel company, use a song with the lyrics "someday we'll all be together once more, when all of the ships*** come back to the shore"... would this not be promoting boat travel lol

[SuperEbbony]

cool

[Sarah45265]

ha. i feel very proud of the fact that we DID have kangaroos in our backyard before we moved.

[awesomebbluffy]

Go Aussies!

[XxNikeVansXx]

Lol I can't even understand anything they're saying ! Lol Australians !

[picsnmom]

Beautiful! I want to down load this but I can't find it anywhere

[chooky85]

27 people are not Australian

[cjdacka]

@chooky85 now 28!

[michellemarbles2]

so people think australia is all like g,day mate ill chuck a few snags on the barbie while you go feed the pet kangaroo ayy. but its not

[MultiGleekFreak]

Aussie Pride for life -3 :)

[piemagon]

Australia, Australia, Australia we love you Amen

[gowmic]

I have spent alot of time abroad. I love being in the USA and Canada when i'm there but nothing beats my home AUSTRALIA.

[TheAussielegend101]

Living in the US for work but mate, i still call Australia home! you dont know how good home is until you have lived abroad

[bobby8168]

i can say it made my eyes water. i have never saw it till today.

[kinggee02]

The cameraman the filmed this died in the outback of South Australia in a chopper crash in 2011 

[MegaWorm25]

i used to call Australia home till i took an arrow to the knee

[bubblecup18]

The original is the better

[Beneli30]

Anyone who fucks with Australia is fucking with me and anyone who fucks with me is gonna be in pain!!

Nah I'm too chicken but I love being Aussie

[alittlelamb23]

this never ceases to send chills down my spine.

[xxLittleSnugglesxx]

I get chills from this song, im proud to be a Aussie :)

[leocag71]

This reminds me of my friend

[ivonnemaria1986]

AUSTRALIA IS A GOOD COUNTRY TO LIVE , I HOPE TO COME BACK SOON. THATS WHY I WORK FOR IT EVERYDAY. =)

[cerrutiboy1]

Australians, just a bunch of racist motherfuckers...

[Avatar230594]

@cerrutiboy1 Can't you pussies take a joke?

[luvnelly]

@cerrutiboy1 That comment is so far fetched if we were a bunch of racists why is Australia a multicultural socity, because we allow other races in.

The media only makes headlines on the negatives not explaining the whole story.

[Gadgman707]

@cerrutiboy1 QQ some more? You're probably some fucking curri-munching, turban-smelling fucking muslim, go have a fucking prayer. Why hate on us? Just cuz everyone hates you doesn't mean you have to hate 24million people

[gowmic]

@cerrutiboy1 And you base that on what?

[ahberjennlee]

I tear up whenever I watch this. It just shows how much I miss Perth and the 3 years I lived there.

[GoingToBeAPilot1]

love this. made one year after i was born. moved to australia when i was 2. can't believe how massive the australian children choir is!

[Romerjon17]

I love Australia and I love this song...

I'm proud to be a Australian!!!!!!

[clarkerst]

lol "I still call Australia hooooomeeee". The irony of all the Japanese writing at the end. at 2:02

[ClaireLeeMusic]

This is so good... it gives me goosebumps! :)

[Zaikomgisdabest]

this is spine-curdling!

[Sopez1]

51% home, 51% safe.

[EL20078]

Our national airline and it should be nationally run!!! And Nationalized!

[trentable]

@EL20078 And run at a loss until the next government decides to sell it again for 1/3rd of the price they bought it for.... sure!

[blackwhisk]

Good on you Alan Joyce! Teach those soul-sucking unions a lesson!

[hins108]

I still call Australia home, despite the debacle

[ematisions]

they will be calling somewhere in asia home if alan joyce has his way!!

[colindominy]

I've seen airlines that never close down .. and, thanks to this disgraceful, nasty, irresponsible excuse for a competent CEO, Alan Joyce, Sun 29th Oct, QANTAS is NOT one of 'em. We Aussies will NEVER look upon this once-patriotic ad in the same way again .. Alan Joyce has successfully destroyed QANTAS' once customer-friendly corporate image forever. This dumb little foreign irish paddy-mick reminds of those gangsters Corrigan/Reith in their 1998 attempt to destroy the MUA. SACK JOYCE NOW !!

[jarviss64]

@colindominy here's a better idea, sack the workers and unionists that have eroded confidence in the company.

[AMFForumvideo]

Qantas , no more :( ...

[musicmagic1999]

This is one of the best videos I have ever seen.

[sliat1981]

that little blonde girl is so cute

[SuperStreamlineTV]

This song is aussie all right, not only is there chinese characters at the end, some of the children have american accents...

[LyricOverLoad]

@SuperStreamlineTV well what would you call a proper australian, we are made up of like every ethnic corner of the world >.> the only people who can really say "I'm australian" are aborigonals but they just sit on the doll and sniff paint all day so that says alolt aobut uw

[SuperStreamlineTV]

@LyricOverLoad true, so its fine if australia becomes overrun with asians? yeah i agree why not

[SuperStreamlineTV]

The girl singing at the start has an annoying yank accent...

[MrCreeperPuncher]

[GERMANLOVER7000]

DEUTSCHLAND IS HOME TO THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

[Avatar230594]

Oh by the way this should be New Zealand's national Anthem.

[Avatar230594]

0:12 They're still up.

[AdamsSeed]

I'm American and this rang a bell deep in the cockles of my heart. (:

[DarKnightofCydonia]

I really wish this would be our national anthem. It's such a beautiful song.

[Cossdog]

Unfortunately the Queensland and Northern Territory Air Service is no longer fully Australian :'(

[Ocicat101]

THSI SHOULD BE OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM! Who's with me?

[EL20078]

@Ocicat101 lol, dude i was searching for this on youtube to make that statement!lol nice one, im with you.

[mjagger2012]

@Ocicat101 i am totally with you

[weirdosack]

@Ocicat101 Lol

[mapachiita10]

i'd like to go to australia, even though i throw up in planes

[Avatar230594]

@mapachiita10 Go by boat, just make sure it's luxurious or you'll end up on Christmas Island.

[MichaelJacksonFan000]

All this.....and it's about Qantas??? lol

[XxTheExpertGamerxX]

I LOVE AUSTRALIA. I WOULDN'T RATHER BE ANY WHERE ELE THUMBS UP IF YOU AGREE..

ALSO I LOVE HOW PEOPLE THING WERE IN THE OUTBACK AND LIVE WITH KANGEROOS. FUNNY SHIT.

[xMidnightSilence]

@XxTheExpertGamerxX I have kangaroos in my backyard :s lol.

[jmorgan2000g]

@XxTheExpertGamerxX Some of us do live in the outback with Kangaroos...

[CannibalCatfish]

@XxTheExpertGamerxX lol, ask your parents to drive you out of your city for an hour. A large amount of the population do live in the outback and have kangaroos in their backyard; if you really love Australia, ask them to go inland instead of to a beach house next holiday.

[cjdacka]

@XxTheExpertGamerxX Stupid americans

[maryangel996]

australia has so many unofficial anthems

[idek102]

This should be our national anthem !!!

[Lotuselise96]

Greetings from Kiwiland next door, the REAL DOWN UNDER!!! In all seriousness though, must applaud all you Aussies and Qantas there for making a marvelous ad and especially that wonderful song.

[CAviolinist]

it surprises me when i saw the chinese words at the end :) hahahahaha

[MrGregoryPerkins]

proud to say i was in this choir :')



[benzo93au]

wow, this is 1998 and the video quality of this ad is pretty good for the era.

[extream0gamer]

My friend is in the 2009 one!!!

[Perthcc1]

Why is the Qantas company words written in Chinese at the end?

[extream0gamer]

@Perthcc1 Cause this advertisement was worldwide, so probably this was shown in China.

[gilesderoet]

It's just embarrassing the people know this brilliant song only from an airline ad.

[TheAceman10]

Greatest Country In the World

[jarvis612]

forget quantas this song is awesome! im proud to be australian, even if we are being americanized..

[NeonGenesisPlatinum]

@jarvis612 I'm so proud to be an Aussie i can't even describe it!! going into Sydney in 2000 when the Olympics was on was the BEST thing i think an Aussie could experience to make thier chest EXPLODE, mine did!

[theonewhoflys]

come on guys, be proud aussies and support the qantas staff trying to save aussie jobs from being off shored by management, qantas crew on qantas planes!

[boboo73]

This should be the Aussie National Anthem!

[23godofdeath]

i am very proud that i am Australian. this song shines the pride i have for my country.

[cutiepiefrog]

this song makes me feel so happy to be australian

[sha370z]

Australia cool place

[HyperShame]

I was 4 when this came out, I remember dreaming to be in it! haha

[rborja298]

i always cry when i here this song IM PROUD TO BE AUSTRALIAN!!!!!!!!!!

[coriander333]

My choir

[chocobosam]

Very moving, really grabs at your heart. I couldn't be any more proud than as I am being Australian. Not to mention being a QLD-er what with 6 straight Origin wins :)

[smileyfaceyou]

@chocobosam go OLD!!!!!

[itzkolpi]

@smileyfaceyou I think you mean "QLD" not "OLD"

[Hammersley1967]

@itzkolpi

No he really means "OLD"...

Sad but true...

[itzkolpi]

@Hammersley1967 very disturbing.

[smileyfaceyou]

@itzkolpi yer QLD

and now i feel stupid :(

[itzkolpi]

@smileyfaceyou :(

[drbackjack]

Its my dream to move to Australia.

[morrie66]

I know that there are many Australians out there that are trying to get home to their families like me . Due to the Volcano in chile it has kept us away from our Home Australia . I take some comfort in this song as it remines me that some day we will be home on Australian soil with the ones we love God bless Australia

[sylviman]

i love this ad, makes me proud to be australian.

the last part was unexpected though...chinese words on an australian ad? really? xD

[jendon3]

I am not an aussie but this song is brill -

[jendon3]

I am not an aussie but this song is brill - wish the poms were so proud of their heritgae too

[angelcute2001]

i am an indian but i still love this song ..thums up

[kjjr92]

I came home from travelling around the UK about a week ago and I just couldn't keep the smile off my face as we flew into Brisbane airport! Don't get me wrong, I loved it over there but there is just something about finally hearing an Australian accent and our brightly coloured money that is so comforting <3

[psyclistic]

Pretty good, but not as good as ''California Love''.

[Babe0492]

21 people are jealous Australia isn't their home.

Aussie Pride <333 (:

[stevemcarthur1981]

@Babe0492 You have to make allowances for people who hit the wrong button by accident

[Atriples]

@Babe0492 I have recently returned from witnessing an enjoyable yet fruitless night of bogan frivolity. With an amber fluid in hand, carefully refrigerated in a tub containing cubes of frozen yet somehow tender ice. Unfortunately, my fellow "Aussies" gave me a sound boxing of the ears and anus when I enquired as to the the whereabouts of their year 6 graduation certificate when they could not even tell me who was responsible for the piss on the toilet seat that had irritated my hemorrhoids.

[LIVELOVESHARRY]

@Atriples again the seriousness with which you deal with the debilitating illness of hemorrhoids is very pleasing as I also suffer from this ailment. Unfortunately around company it provides discomfort and social awkwardness to all who rudely stare as I scratch vigorously my raw scaely ass. (note I find the usage of scaley disgusting though it is an apt description of a sore that has caused several doctors to be aroused).

[volvoxmusix]

@Babe0492 jealous :D? a bit ... but you only got 2 more letters than my homeland ^^ love from austria!

[Rt1334]

Awesome

[simoninsingapore]

I fly Qantas if only my company pays.

[LIAM21ca]

Just WOWWWWWWWWWWWWW I am Canadian and wish we had such a anthem that shows our pride as Autrialians do!

A proud Canadian!

[gryffindorhouse122]

Ive always heard so many good things about australia. Having never been there, and been living in the US for all my life really, i would really like to go to australia. I can see why many aussies have pride in the nation. Such a great country, great video.

[MaryMartinish]

MAGIC! Thanks for uploading this rare clip for us!

[lululy1993]

This song has more emotion compare to 2009 but i love the contrast b/w the language in 2009 .....

[Pantalaimon90]

goose bumps.. seriously

[Churros1616]

I'm not even Australian, but this song makes me want to be an Aussie!!

[ojyhofoy]

I still call CANADA hooooommmmeeee......

[SSCentralVids]

[Pantalaimon90]

@SSCentralVids OI OI OI :)

[ojyhofoy]

[jessicaleung88]

[Notster07]

[Notster07]

@loloa10 woahh! step back!! we got a pro singer here! :D cool! i wanted to join as well but I never got the time :( what's it like being there? do you really get to travel the world!! to like Rio and old London town ;)

[mezarati]

I miss the Australia 10 years ago, bring the liberals back

[misseverythingever]

Tee he it's got Chinese characters at the end

[joeyws89]

So much better than our actual National Anthem!

[iamkingofthecastle]

I am Australian, and live in Bangkok I listen to this everyday as I miss Australia soooo much

[zhmz888]

good song to combate dry eye.... an immigrant who has been australia for more than 2 decades...

[bordercollie1975]

I would die for Australia and our freedom.

[sasuke0491]

i was so close to crying near the very end i was so moved then the Qantas plane flew by and i cracked up laughing

[rrrohan2288]

@sasuke0491 im surprised it didn't crash or at least have some sort of malfunction

[sasuke0491]

@rrrohan2288 lol so true!

[stfjesusfreak]

This is such a great song and I was so moved coming from a red, white and blue American! :-)

[IWentInsane]

lols I was in this Choir im 16 now :)

[Buddhy]

@IWentInsane You were in the choir when you were 3?

[Atriples]

@Buddhy yes I was as that was the legal age at which priests could molest children without the children's testament being trusted when the parents confronted the priest in the act of the sodomy. If you would lilke further details please contact my rabbit which has been raped by my dog so many times that it has lost it's panache for carrots. As they are too small to stimulate his rectum.

[LIVELOVESHARRY]

@Atriples you are probably the nicest cunt, I would like to raise a soiled carrot that has entered your rabbits rectum on your behalf, well done sir. I also have a rabbit who has moved onto pumpkins to stimulate his horny rectum. I personally am a big fan of using the edge side of large tables to stimulate my hindquarters as I watch my rabbit pleasure itself.

[novabeerfly]

Hello Qantas...one way ticket from the US please

[MusicManAustralia]

I saw my self!, Back in the 1998 i was apart of the Choir but then i grew up.

[PHILBRAH11222]

i havnt been to fucking anywhere D: 

[luigi7321]

I'm So lucky! These guys are coming to my town to sing with me and my choir. I hope we do good, thumbs up if you hope we do good aswell!

[bendyamin86]

I still call Australia Home.... Been out of the country for 7 years now... and this song really moves me. I miss Australia, but it will always be my Home!

[rainieskys]

Amazing song! Moved me to tears.

-Greetings Australia! From fellow brothers in Canada.

[IIproductionsII]

God, I hate this ad...it's so damn annoying. The only good thing is the 747 at the end.

[seddiefan4ever]

@IIproductionsII if you are a true Aussie you would love this song

[IIproductionsII]

@seddiefan4ever Lol..no dude. You don't have to enjoy listening to little fags to be a true Australian.

[seddiefan4ever]

@IIproductionsII i didn't say you had to listen to it

[IIproductionsII]

@seddiefan4ever Never said you did say that, learn to read.

[seddiefan4ever]

@IIproductionsII i no what i said, it makes scene to me

[fcukyouz]

Aus What?? AUSTRALIA!!!

[MsMadman123]

this is better than the newer one, it makes me wish i was australian lol

[PetSocietyTeam]

I love Australia! :D

[SaintsPkU]

i get goosebumps all over just hearing the first 5 seconds of this song. I wouldn't live any where else, i love my country <3

[newzerz]

imagine how old they are now ?

[Totalbollocks88]

This is amazing! You don't even need to be Australian to enjoy this.

[Nanostarification]

eventhough im not australian, i wish i was!!

[lilypayneful]

Guy on 1:54 is hot

[TylahMuller]

this is so oldd :) i wasn't even born but i love this is amazing i watch when im sad hhaah it lights up my day..

[OReallyYaRly]

Im in Chch and one of your TV presenter Karl Stefanovic sang this to some of us at a refuge centre after the earthquake but changed the words to "we still Christchurch home". Was awesome although i wouldnt recomend he give up his day job lol

[EmeraldChild2244]

I start crying whenever I hear this. It is so beautiful. I love Australia. Even though I love to travel, I still and always will call Australia home. :D

[gladspyaus]

AUSTRALIA is an amazing country mates..every one should visit it at least once in a lifetime..have pristine beaches ..serene atmosphere..

[MrPman851]

@gladspyaus, I believe ya mate!

[mbml95]

this song still gives me major goosebumps, i can't wait to show my future kids this

[gillebro]

anyone else feel a weird smack in the face when the final screen was in Chinese?

[Turtle1971]

@gillebro - I would say this particular cut of the ad was for a Chinese market so I would seem sensible that the tagline is in Chinese. I am pretty sure speaking English is not a ticket requirement on Qantas flights :)

[gillebro]

@Turtle1971 yeah, I realised that. And no, I'm also quite sure it isn't. I was amused, is all.
