No offence to our current National Anthem, but this honestly should be the National Anthem. It literally screams Australia more than Advance Australia Fair
Who can forget this song being sung at Cardiff Arms Park when the Wallabies toured in 1967 to defeat Wales for the first time and defeated the Barbarians.
I love it, heard the aussies singing it before a rugby match long ago and I thought it was a joke song, as I got older I have deep respect for that song and the history of it and its much better than the USA copy which they sing now.
I dated an Aussie and I lived in an Antipeodian house, when I worked and lived in London in my 20s. I also worked with lots of Aussies, and for some reason the accent is easy for a Swede to adopt, people thought I was an Aussie lol
Abraham Morrison late to the party but the Desert Rats were the British 7th Armoured Division who held Tobruk. The Aussies were integral to the defence of Tobruk however
Australia is the most beautiful land on this planet! A beautiful mix of English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh... What a shame it's become a new South East Asia!!!
we all shagged matilda we all shagged matilda we all shagged matilda and so did our mates she moaned and she groaned as she took it up the billabong we all shagged matilda and so did our mates
I love everything about Australia. You guys are the nicest bunch of people I've ever talked to no matter where I've met you. Can't hold anywhere else with such high regard. And both the anthems (Advance Australia Fair and this) are very beautiful. I'd love to move to Australia at somepoint down the line for sure.
Ahh, you'd say bland but mind being British our anthem is God Save the Queen which is very uninteresting and very outdated aha. Waltzing Matilda is the better one of the two though :-P
Cyclopgamingfreaks It's awkward for me, I'm Scottish so GSTQ is our official anthem with the much better (in my opinion) Flower of Scotland adopted as our unofficial anthem. I guess I dislike GSTQ for some of the anti-Scottish parts in it. The Welsh anthem is amazing if you've never heard that you 100% should give that a listen, I like the German one as well.
Why wasn't I born in Australia, instead of shitty Britain? Our anthem is about some decrepit old hag sitting on her fat arse in a palace paid for by us, and you've got songs like this (I realise it isn't the national anthem, but it really should be). It's not fair!
