First song - It's Our Territory - Northern Territory song.
Inspiring and powerful anthemic song for the Northern Territory. Also a great slogan.
You don't have to be a Territorian to watch the video or listen to the song. If you love Australia, it's more than likely you will appreciate this song. It is a very powerful, patriotic and inspiring song.

Second song - Can You Hear Australia's Heroes Marching? - Australian war memorial song.
The song is timeless and honours the memory of those who have died in the service and defence of Australia in war.
The marching theme of the song is especially powerful and supports the spirit of ANZAC Day.
The song does not glorify war or endorse conflict of any kind. The song simply highlights the sacrifice of many Australians who died in the service and defence of our country in war.
Over 100,000 Australians have lost their lives in the service and defence of our country. Along with their mates, 'they're marching once again, in the towns and cities, across our great land'.
Schools and students frequently ask to use this song in projects and commemorative ceremonies.
Radio stations throughout Australia have broadcast the song leading up to ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day. The song is also requested to be played at funerals (for veterans).
The song has been used for commemorative purposes across Australia by schools, churches, choirs, bands, councils, retirement homes, military services, RSL branches and ANZAC tributes at NRL & AFL matches.
One interesting thing about the song, is the global aspect of the internet allowed many people from other countries to hear the song. For instance, some years ago a publishing house in Norway asked for the song... “The Norwegian publishing house Aschehoug is about to publish a new series of English schoolbooks for 8-10th grade in the Norwegian market. In this new series, called Key English, we want to make use of the song “Can You Hear Australia’s Heroes Marching”.
“Congratulations on your very professionally presented song, ‘Can You Hear Australia’s Heroes Marching?’ It is most patriotic, stirring and respectfully thought provoking.” Major General Peter Phillips AO MC (Retd) National President of the RSL
“Thanks for your note on your song which I played the other night and got a terrific reaction. Many of the listeners on the 28 stations to which we broadcast want to know if it can be purchased anywhere?” John Kerr (2UE)
“The CD was great. We put it over the P.A. system in the park on ANZAC Day and the whole town has been humming the tune ever since.” Collie Cardiff RSL - Western Australia
The song is also known as the 'Australian War Heroes Song'. Go to the author of the song's website at www.peterbarne...
