This should be our national anthem.

It doesn't matter how many times I see and hear this, I tear up. I love Australia and really appreciate just how well this song explains this wonderful country. I'm such an Aussie and so proud of that.
-
This song is a defining moment in Australian folk music, performed by an iconic Australian band of musicians. RIP Judith Durham. She is a daughter, mother, sister to all Australians.

Love this song should be Australian national anthem it says everything how proud it is to be of your country the words say it all
-
Oh bloody hell! You were attempting an Australian accent?!! Thank God for that, I thought you were having a stroke! Whew!!
-
Gives me goosebumps every time I listen to this song , it should be our national anthem

The first verse talks about the indigenous people who inhabited the land, the second verse talks about the colonization through convict and free settlers; the third verse talks about the trials and tribulations to survive, then you have the first refrain describing the blend of cultures. The fourth verse talks the songs, the stories, the arts and the folk legends; the fifth verse talks about the landscape and the climate, then you have the second refrain.

I read a comment somewhere - when Australians sing about our land we sing love songs.

Proud Aussie here.

Dear old Judith. Such a pure voice. RIP you legend.

I don't consider myself a very sentimental person, but I pretty much always shed a tear when it comes to songs about Australia, including this one 😅 hits me right in the feels 😂
-
this song makes me feel even more proud to be an Australian. It also reminds me of my childhood
-
I love this song so very much and I used to cry with pride every time I heard it. Sadly I now cry at how much we have changed and how far away from what we used to be. I love Australia and am glad I’m Aussie

You pronounce “Australian” like an Australian or a Kiwi. Brits and Americans rarely get it right. Thank you! You’ve won this Australian. I’m subscribing. 🙂

RIP our beautiful Judith 💕

Oh man💞 the chord created by their harmonising resonates deep, causing those chills, one of a kind. Listen to "The Seekers" hits, back in 1960's & you'll hear it too.

Rabbit proof fence is a good movie to watch, also listen to the song I still call Australian home
-
As The Corries' song Flower of Scotland is to Scotland, I think this song is to us Aussies, absolutely unofficial anthem. Just captures the essence!
-
The next intro would be Qantas Australian ad. You will love it. It’s called I still call Australia home.

If you love Australian movies you should watch the movie called Red Dog.
