    As an Aussie, it doesn't matter if the words aren't 100% its the sentiment that counts and the great man got that 100% correct.

    I’m Aussie and love this song. Johnny Cash was a remarkable performer. What a legend.
  • As an Australian in an American life, this song means everything. Always has, since I heard it when I was a young kid. Be seein ya soon Queensland.

    Hearing Cash’s golden voice sing my nation’s cultural anthem is damn near enough to make me cry. I’m glad other cultures can appreciate the beauty of this song ❤

    The man was a legend. As an Aussie iknow a few things were a little off but our American mates would have got the gyst of the story. We should encourage others to enjoy our culture and not be too precious about it

    That wonderful baritone voice combined with his vast musical talent was rounded off beautifully with the appearance of his soul mate.

    He did very well attempting to translate from Australian.. Much of our language and slang has no matching words outside of Australia. Lol..

    When I was a kid in country Australia, my parents would let me stay up late on that one night of the week that Johnny’s show was on TV. He was very popular here. I have heaps of his songs on my phone.

    Johnny, thank you. What a treat even all these years later to hear you sing a very treasured song still taught in our school curriculum today. Also thank you for the Adelaide shout out! 🥰
