Every time I used to hear this song it would bring tears to my eyes. I'm tearing up, even now, after all these years.

Happy Australia Day!!! :D

@julzzzzzzzzzzz what rubbish you speak. Australia has a shameful past but I have never once heard anyone refer to an Aboriginal person as a N*****. As for legal to shoot people and hunt. Ridiculous. Why don't you crawl back into your hole and let us enjoy and listen to a song that touches the heart of many Australians, no matter their background or skin colour. I love Warumpi Band, they're one of Australia's finest. They're nowhere near as recognised as they deserve to be.

beautiful song. Despite the politics, Australia is home to many people to whom it is the only home they know.

Love it, love it, love it. A beautiful song, sang by a beautiful Australian man with a great, great voice. I am proud to be part of this beautiful country, where I moved to from Holland 29.5 years ago :)
