South Australia - Song sung by school children.

South Australia - Song sung by school children.

On November 3, 2001, the Public Primary Schools Music Festival Choir sung the song at the swearing-in ceremony of South Australia's new Governor, Her Excellency Mrs Marjorie Jackson-Nelson AC CVO MBE.

"'South Australia - It's My Home' is a wonderful song." Her Excellency Marjorie Jackson-Nelson AC CVO MBE Governor of South Australia

Performances of this State song to date include South Australian Government functions and community presentations, Davis Cup Tie against Germany, Showdown matches between the Adelaide Crows and Port Power, Olympic Flame arrival celebrations in Adelaide, and International World Environment Day.

More than ten thousand young South Australians learnt the song when it was included in the 'Song Book' for State Public Primary Schools in 2001. The song was sung during the State Public Primary School Festival of Music at the Adelaide Festival Centre in August 2001.

The song has also been broadcast on radio stations in Adelaide and country regions of South Australia, including South Australia Day.

On this video, the song is being sung by children from South Australia's State primary schools.

South Australia - It's My Home was
commissioned by the South Australian Government.
