I honestly maybe the only 16 year old boy who actually knows and loves this song. In my opinion i would rather listen to this song over and over again before i listen to any techno or autotune

malabu2 - you have outdone yourself, mate. This is one of the very best of Banjo's traditional old Australian poems .. and it's put to music brilliantly by Wallis and Matilda. And congrats to you - you've put together a very fine montage of old-time Australian historical stills & graphics to accompany this great track. P.S. - my wife played in this band, back in the 70s .. you can hear her playing the recorder on this track .. counter-backgrounding the lead vocal.

Thanks Colin ... Yeah it certainly is one great track .someone had put a copy on youtube until recently ,so i thought i'd upload it myself and add some pics to go with it . I went to a second hand record shop in the hope of finding a copy ,i could not belive my luck when i looked amongest only 20 -30 country / folk LPs and came across their 1980 Pioneers album A tribute to A.B.(Banjo) Paterson ,it cost me the mighty some of $5LOL...Cheers Mate...

Thank you so much for letting me relive my past! My Dad who passed away in 2001 bought me this single when I was a kid to help me learn AB Patterson's work. I never forgot a word and just relived such wonderful memories and found a great teaching tool for my kids. Thank you.

Fabulous, I am an expat.. ten years away from Aus, and this brings back so many memories.. Thanks for putting this together with the great song. Man I am so homesick at the moment.

I love this greatest country built by real men with true family values .... Now, will my children not see nor understand this wonderful history that we were able to cling its forgotten fading moments, only to be destroyed and sold to the highest bidder upon another land before our children grow to wonder ... of this wonderful true Australia and of Clancy.

Fantastic, love this when it came out, looking for a CD now.

@malabu2 So true !!!

I never heard this sung before - I just know the poem. I love this, I really love it.

This was my favourite song when I was kid. Advance Australian Kids.

These words echo in my mind as I work inside the high rise units. My heart is in the soil & working with wood. Living & working outside the mainstream, yet lately I see that I often sit “in my dingy, little office, where a stingy ray of sunlight struggles feebly, through the houses tall” Most of us work at what we do not because we want to but to fulfil the responsibilities our past decisions have laid upon us. No greater love has a man than to lay down his life for those he loves. Perservere.

"I am sitting in my dingy little office, where a stingy ray of sun light struggles feebly down between the houses tall." Great line that...

This song is magnificent. My Mum just put me on to it last night...
