  • @kaeeeLa BY THE WAY AUSTRALIA IS THE LARGEST NON CONNECTED ISLAND , SUCK A DICK BITCH AND FUK OFF OUT OF AUSTRALIA U SLUT

  • @mattyizcool69 Islands are non connected by definition, that's what makes them an island.

  • @kaeeeLa She is not singing about the Torres Strait Islands at all. No idea where you got that info from.

  • AUSSSIE,AUSSIE,AUSSIE,

  • It's not even about Australia, it's about an island off the coast of the Northern Territory. Remember, Australia is no island, it's a continent!

  • @ummjw Australia is the world's largest Island..

  • @11ellie12 No it's not, it's a continent.

  • @ummjw "Australia is an island continent and the world's sixth largest country (7,682,300 sq km)." That is from the Australian Government website.

  • I love this song. Such powerful lyrics that any aussie, no matter from what corner of the land they hail from, can relate to and feel a surge of emotion. This is a great cover version. Its right up there with 'I Still Call Australia Home' and 'We Are One'.

    Fun, Love & Peace.

    - G

  • Stop trying to find reasons to start political conflicts about this song- embrace the beauty of the music and reminisce about the place you call home.

  • @11ellie12 Yeh, Australia, fuck yeh!

  • Hate this song dunno y

  • 3:42-4:13

    As you can see ladies and gentelmen. The Awsome places of the world are shaded in green.

    Kidding! All countires are awsome in their own unique way!

  • OP, should probably credit Neil Murray as the writer...

  • I live is Essex in England. I have duel nationality and was born and raised in Oz. I grew up not really knowing about racism. In my high school in Queensland there was black, white, Asian, and European. The most we ever knew about racism was from a few parents (can't actually remember any) and TV. On the other hand, in Essex I have heard racism against everyone who is not English! Even the other groups who were born here and share this tiny Island! A lot to learn from Oz!

  • THIS SONG IS JUST GREAT!!!!!

    The song has so much meanings in it...

    I wish to be able to become a singer like her...

    AUSSIE ROCKS!!!

  • i love Australia!!! wish i could go back

  • i love Australia!!! wish i could go back

  • i absolutely love this song

  • I remember flying back from Europe and seeing the red sky and dark land in sunset on decent. It was picturesque of the Koori flag.

    I realized then that the major cities isnt the true Australia its only 5%

  • Happy Day Australia...me and my family love you !!!

  • Why do people internationally call us Australians 'racist'? We are like, the most multi-cultural country in the world ! It's a beautiful country to live in and it hardly has any feuds or wars.. Surf, sand and sun is that describes Australia best =)

  • @RoseOfSugar

    Go slash some train seats.

  • @RoseOfSugar

  • we should be doing what we we can to protect what,s left of the earth and noy worry about makeing a dollar.

  • 17 year old half australian half filipina girl born in Sydney, Australia here.. I'd gladly die for this country, my home Australia.

  • @NikiNikolinaTV Respect!

  • love this song

    xxxxxxx

  • loveee australia

  • stop the racist shit. jusy enjoy life . one world one life then its all over ...no more .. just be happy and be greatfull your alive ,

  • Let's not forget this version is a cover. The original is by the Warumpi Band. I believe Ms Anu did some backup singing for them. Have a look at the youtube clip of the original. I believe it is superior and the original words give the song a different, more poignant meaning. Written by Neil Murray after a trip to George's home island. Sammy Butcher brilliant guitarist. George RIP.

  • Amazing ! I always find myself playing this so much, over and over again' only people here know and understand the whole consept.

    thankyou Christine.

  • @jackoD8 Yeh ok, what ever, every aboriginal or torres straight islanders thinks she is there cousin, sister, aunt or mother. Unless your blood related there is NOTHING!

  • @AaronFarquhar what a fuckin dog thing to say. you either white by skin or by heart. white people don't understand what it's like to be someones brother or sister by more then blood. it's sad that you don't know that. we're all family, we all know the same ignorance from people who can't except us and want to discriminate even though they're visitors to our land. my blood runs through all other aboriginal people and you wont ever know that feeling.

  • @sonniya1991 too right. fuck off 'farquhar'

  • @AaronFarquhar fuckin watch ur self prik or u will find urself in a drain wid no head AND IM WHITE

  • @AaronFarquhar You don't know about Aboriginal Culture do you?

    Aboriginals beleive if someone is there friend or someone they look up 2 there family and thats probaly what Jacko means. Although im white and not aboriginal i consider Christine as my cuz :)

  • @jackoD8 my uncle james wrote this song. he met her for a meeting and out of the songs he wrote she picked this one.

  • @SiMmO160 - your uncle didn't write this song to have a meeting with her where she then went on to sing it, making it famous.

    This song is a cover, it was originally written, produced and sung by one of Australia's most underrated bands, the Warumpi Band.

  • *their not there

  • we had to do this 4 our music class. and it was actually quiet nyceeee. ;D shes a good singeeer.

  • shes my blood aunty!

  • @fRESHHPRODUKt You're very lucky, she is an amazing talent. Wish she was still releasing music.

  • This is my aunty and im so proud of her! i LOVEE this song it reminds me of home.

  • @fRESHHPRODUKt

    Christine Anu is your Aunty? not your full blood aunty though right?

  • @fRESHHPRODUKt :O shes my cousin somewhere along the line! i think 2nd cousin! does this mean where related!!? no joke

  • Isn't she fantastic? A great artist!

  • I am Indian working here on an IT project for sometime. It has been two years since. And I guess it's time for me to go back to India. But I must say I am indebted to this country for its natural beauty and people. I will always miss the Australian sense of humour, the take it easy attitude and respect for all. Even though I am a foreigner in this country I had been treated everywhere with as much respect and love as any other Australian. I wish you all the very best Australia . God bless.

  • @Vedantt29 I'm glad you enjoyed your time here, please come back to visit us sometime :)

    Peace <3

  • I recently came back from a holiday in Australia...it was one of the most beautiful places in the world. The people were pleasant as well.

  • I am so fucking sick of people telling us we are racist, who the fuck are you? and have you ever been here, my god we are one of the most tolerant countries on the planet . we love all cultures we embrace all cultures however we protect our borders as does every other country on earth... what makes us so different from all of you?.... acceptence is code.. spend a day in any major ciy of this country and it will be proven to you....

  • @aussieslapper yeah i agree, english people think we re racist but if you ve ever liked in the UK you d understand jusat how intolerent they are of outsiders compared to aussies..... cherie blair called us racist what the hell would she know about the problems that came from the consequences of English EMPIRE BUILDING!! its beyond beleif really.... i live in dubai, the poor fuckiung indians get treated l;ike shit you dont hear cherie blair on that one

  • @ferret630 I don't think Australia is racist...but being born and raised as a white girl in England to American parents, I understand how intolerant English people can be, even to Americans who are white. That being said, however, I lived in an area that was full of Pakistani and Indian culture. People around us were extremely tolerant of Indians and Pakistani people, Africans and Jamaicans. I believe that in the end every country will be the same, there are tolerant people and racist people.

  • @aussieslapper well said.

  • @aussieslapper I wish this was true. I'm an Aussie and Indigenous Australians are dying and hated. They are STILL living in third world conditions. Yet the majority of non-Indigenous people complain how they don't pull their weight because their simply 'doll bludging petrol-sniffers'. In comparison to most other countries I would agree Australia is very accepting of other people's cultures.

  • @aussieslapper These days we're overly accepting people.

  • @aussieslapper You Australians are the BIGGEST RACISTS EVER!  thats a FACT!

  • @Makhecha We are not racist at all. You can not call an entire country racist because a select few choose to be. How many actors, celebreties, visitors and tourists say Australia is racist? None. How many say Australia is one of the nices countries on earth? Almost everyone that visits. We are not racist, we have so many different cultures in our country and we treat each other equally. I would never dream of being racist to anyone, and you would not find many Aussies that do. AUSSIEAUSSIEAUSSIE

  • @Makhecha What country are you from by the way? I would love to know as it both astounds and appalls me that you think we are racist. You obviously have never actually been here, otherwise you would know that most of us are genuine.

  • @Mizzgleek93 YOU AUSTRALIANS try and pretend to the world.The FACT is the majority of Australians want a world only for WHITE people. You are RACIST. I really laughed when the floods hit your sad country and hope a earthquake wipes you all out! better still Arab terrorist blow your faces off!

  • @Makhecha Well you know what? Im Spanish, and my sisters are black. And to think you laughed at our floods disgusts me. Whole families died, children were orhpaned and even hundreds of animals died. So you can GET FUCKED! And if we only wanted a country of white people, then why do we house asylum seekers? Why do we have millions of Muslims? Because we DONT GIVE A FUCK what colour people are, I especially don't. Judging an entire country is what terrorists do. And I feel sorry for you.

  • @Makhecha Even after the terrorist attacks in the last 10 years, I hold no hate towards Muslims and I treat them as i would treat family, I treat everyone that way. Because I do not hold an antire country responsible for the actions of a few terrorists. The world will never be rid of racist people, but do not label our whole country as racist because you 'think' we are. And even though you have been extremely rude and offensive, I do not hate you, because you are just very opinionated.

  • @Mizzgleek93 Fucking shut up you sad Australian RACIST mother fucker...Like I said earlier I watche dthe floods in Australia AND LAUGHED SO MUCH! I hope you Australians all DIE FUCKING WHITE RACIST AUSTRALIANS ..ALL WHITE Australians are RACIST and deserve to be killed.

  • @Makhecha Well it makes me sad to think you are so close minded. Ah well, i guess your a lost cause and i can't change our opinion. I guess ill just wish you a good day :D. Because I'm an Aussie and I'm fuckin proud of it too! Btw, you never told me what country you are from?

  • @Makhecha In my suburb in Australia, we have a mosque, a Hindu temple, Buddhist Temple, Bahai house of worship and Protestant and Catholic churches. I'm half white half Indian. I've never ever been racially abused in my life. In Aus, people don't care whether you are white, black, asian, african or jewish etc. We do care when ignorant people like you laugh when thousands of our young children are orphaned due to floods and our wildlife dies. Australians are just as racist as the Brits or America

  • @Makhecha We don't have BNP Nationalists , or a Ku Klux Klan ,we unlike Saudi Arabia, allow churches to be built, Unlike Malaysia, we give Chinese and Indians jobs, unlike France, we dont deport or Gypsies, unlike Italy, we dont send our refugees straight back to Afghanistan without processing them first, we don't have anti- Jewish riots, (Iran), we don't burn other religious sites, "Sudan, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan andCanada!" I can't beleive u call us racist! I'm Half Indian and love Aus!

  • @MrJameswilson101 Well as you say you are half indian you may love Australia BUT those white Australians do not love you. Dont turn up here being a turncoat WHITE Australians are racist. As I have said before I was so happy when the floods devastated that shithole and I now hope a earthquake flattens the place taking loads of Australians.

  • @MrJameswilson101 Shut the fuck up ! that dude Makhecha is right. I have been to Australia and have seen the seperation amongst white Australians and other races. White Australians do not like other cultures or people.I agree they are racist.The world now knows they are racist and this will stay with them forever.

  • @Youbastardshitheads

    Every country is like that. You will find racism everywhere, not all aussie's are like that, just like not all Americans are loud, overly religious and gun-happy. Stop being pulled in by the stereotypes.

  • @Youbastardshitheads perhaps the Aussies just didn't like you

  • Aaron ,Thank you so much ,Im trying to spread love and light , For and truth ,For a Great future ,For us and the world ,The past is the past ,The future we can make great ,.

    Love and light .all ways,

  • Austrians we are all brothers ,We know no hate ,We only know peace and love. Our country has no wars or hatred , The world should live like us in peace and harmony , Do it the Aussie way, and not take life so serious. We laugh and play jokes on eacth other all the time. We are made to be tough .,We don't look at the past we look to the future for a better world ,

    Love and light all ways

  • @xingwei12 Well Said My Friend, Its so true what you say, you have described this nation perfectly.

  • @xingwei12 now that is Australian if have ever heard it!!! peace to ya', i will have a beer for you.. bj

  • @xingwei12 We're Australians not Austrians

  • @sugacanejane God you people are unreal . Come at me with anything just to get noticed ,.One spelling mistake ,Its no big deal , The message is what counts. Sheesh

  • @xingwei12 Just one other thing, u have the qrong country, this is Australia, Not Austria

  • @AaronFarquhar You want to be like that  ok . Seems some one all so makes mistakes" "Wrong" not "qrong" rofl . You may want to correct your self before trying to correct others." Oh and " You" not "u"

  • @xingwei12 i think making a couple of little spelling mistakes is alot different then mistaking a whole freakin country

  • @AaronFarquhar Your such a hypocrite ,You steal this video and claim your nice ,Your full of your self / Blocked i want nothing to do with fakes like you

  • Comment removed

  • u stole this video didnt u

  • @mileycyruscrazy101 Yes I Did, Whats Your Point??

  • What a great song, there should be many more songs like this. Can't get enough, go Christine Anu!!!

  • well english is was actually written by, the english first.. not the warumpi band!!

    Who gives a shit about the origins of the song anyway??

    Australia is MY Island home, and even after traveling the world for the last 2 years, there's no place I'd rather be!

  • watermelon hacks

  • @sdthird10 ?????????????????

  • Thank u for sharing this:)

  • ok lets clear all this up right now so there is no more discution on this ok . The song is written by the warumpi band , sung by christine anu, and she is singing about the torres strate island and taking about moving and living in australia. ok can everyone agree on that. caz thats the truth

  • @xoxRpatzzxox Mate, Your absolutely right about all of it, But they will keep on coming here and debating it..lol..

  • @xoxRpatzzxox

    To be even more accurate, the song was written by Neale Murray and George Rurrambu, both of whom are members of the Warumpi Band. And if you really want to here this brilliant song in all its real glory, then listen to the original.

    Andrew Thomas

  • umm you need to change the caption of this video because Christine is singing about Australia she is singing about the Torres Strait!!! GET IT RIGHT MATE!!!

  • no place like it ...

  • Im an Australian currently working in New Zealand. I try to get back home twice a year to see my family but to be honest, i dont miss being away from home as I use to. Australia is becoming too multicultural for my liking. When I was in Syd last Aug 09, I found it to be very dirty & it was like spot the white aussie meaning who could speak english. Its sad AUSTRALIA ha ended up in such a bad way

  • Puts tears in my eyes... Oz 4ever!!!

  • Although I left Australia quite a few years ago, this song brings back so many wonderful memories.

    It is truly the land of wonders.

  • Aaron my friend well put together

  • Aaron well done Brother

  • Australia Is My Island Home Forever!

  • i have to sing this song for this thing called theme day at my school. Its really crap and I CANT SING. The song is ok its a bit weird but i would rather listen to this than lady ga ga. Lady ga ga is crap

  • not bad for a half bong

  • this is a good song babe

  • hahaha u are callin us racist mate but all u keep sayin is how bad us WHITE australians are and how 99.9 % of us are all racist . right there mate ur fuckin discrimnatin and bein racist soo take a backwards step and stop bein such a hypocrite, and there aint no such thing as white australian or black or whatever australian its just australian here mate dont no what country ur from but sounds like u got it pretty bad over there soo ....

    suck shit

  • @makhecha... don't try and lecture me on racism mate cause i think i would know a little about the subject trust me. not only are we diverse in cultures we harbour many differing perspectives on culture

  • , the microcosm of australians you are reffering to can be found in every country unfortunatley ours are just a little louder than most, as i stated in my previous comment, it's more or less a fear than anything else, it's not a racist country with racist people,

  • it's a new country compared to the rest of the world and we are trying to make right the wrongs and progress forward, fitting because our national emblem is the emu and the kangaroo, those animals are on our emblem because both of them do not step backwards only forwards

  • Awesome - I never knew that. Thanks for teaching me something new!

  • it's funny to hear this fear of being over run by foreigners, most the foregners i know embrace their new country, those few that don't choose to try to adapt are just as ignorant as the people afraid of them not trying to adapt...lets try holding out our hand out and saying welcome, cause this country we live in should be shared with everyone it's that beautiful,

  • we won't loose our identity, we won't loose our history, it's crazy to think otherwise, we'll have good trade and business relations in the world and bulid a nation prepared to take the centre stage globaly. diversity is our strength it always has been and always will be, When i travel to different countries and people ask me where im from im so proud to say im australian for this very fact, australia day is like christmas to me.

  • careful mate

  • @Makhecha Bullshit Cunteyes...I'm a real Aussie and I'm not racist. My missus is a gook and I'll fuck bitches of any colour or smell. You must be a fucking curry to think we're racist. Troublemaking bastards...

  • @DirtyDiggerAUS

    "Gook" is a derogatory term for South East Asians ..and there you are saying you are not a racist!

    You are aq Australian white racist mother fucker like 99.99% of Australians ..!

  • Haha...yeah probably. But it's better than being a slant-eyed, small dicked greasy-ass wog like yourself you fucking wanker. Go back to Russia, Jose. Nobody wants your fucking curry eating arse here.

  • @DirtyDiggerAUS

    I am not in Australia,, that is a fucking shithole full of little white assholes like you! running around being racist and think you are clever!..I used to liek Australian Rugby and Cricket but now I just think you are all a bunch of fucking cunts..Australia needs to be bombed and have a few white people splattered onteh streets...starting with you you little cunt!

  • Haha you dumb fuck. You wish you were here instead of in your toilet of a 3 world country where you earn $5 a week in a call centre annoying the fuck out of real people. No one will ever love you. even your parents are ashamed of you and your mum is fucking her brother. AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE OI OI OI. We will always be smarter, faster and richer than you scumbags. Die poor and lonely shiteater! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • @DirtyDiggerAUS

    You obvioiusly can not read..I would never go to shithole Australia and when I ever meet Australian fuckers I tell you what I think and spit in your faces!...The world has woken up to you types and are now bombing you! ask yourself why there are terrorists killing you.

  • You obviously can't spell, fuckknuckle. You wont ever meet an aussie because you're to poor to leave the dirtfarm you live on. As for terrorists...we need those cocksuckers so we got an excuse to send our military in to your shitholes and rape the resource base. east Timor anyone? We weren't there to help the magy East Timorese...we did it so all the oile would be ours. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA....YOU LOSE TOWELHEAD!

  • @DirtyDiggerAUS OI OI OI im with you brother, who does that weak bastard think he/it is!!!!

  • @Makhecha if Australia is so bad, why are so many people trying to live here, by any means available??????????????????? i think you are the racist..

  • Australia is a country worlds away from the rest of the universe. The incredible multiculturalism, and the real Australian way are a wonderful asset to a country so rich with the worlds finest people - Aboriginal, European, Asian, African, American - we are all Australian. Acceptance is in fact something we pride ourselves on, regardless of a previous comment. Being Australian is a gift - it is here where we only know peace and love without war. Sure, there are problems, but we live on.

  • Your totally correct my friend, good on you, i love your views on your great nation and your right in every aspect.

  • Thanks man! :) only spoke the truth there and regardless of what others have said on here, you'll never know the real Australia until you've been here (not you personally!) Australia, the land of the free :)

  • @theUnknown20one

    You are talking absolute shit mate!...Australians are a bunch or RACIST CUNTS and that included you!...Just look at how Aborigines were treated and exterminated , now you want to exterminate Asians (Indians) in that shithole country!

  • ok mr india... whatever you reckon... how bout you take a look in your own backyard before you throw around a term like "exterminate"... India is statistically ranked number 1 as the highest rate of murder in the world... with 37,170 murders alone last year.... as compared to Australia ranked 36, with 304 murders last year... so whose "exterminating" who.... thanks for your time, catch ya on the flip side brother...

  • @Makhecha

    taxi!?!

  • @Makhecha you calling Aussies racist cunts? there is no country in the world that doesnt have a problem with racism and its because we live in such a peaceful country that when a racism remark is made and is broadcasted worldwide make's it a bigger problem than it is.

  • @Makhecha Australia is a multicutral country so we are bound to have a few mishaps and what happend to the Aborigines is sad BUT WE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT, it was our earlier ancestors who started that shit whent they landed on the first fleet!!! and we have proven bigger than they by recently apologising to the stolen generation and the aboriginal Australians.
