The song "Great Southern Land" from the 1982 album "Primitive Man," performed by Icehouse.
More from Icehouse: • The Greatest Hits From...
"Great Southern Land" by Icehouse tells a story about feeling alone and longing for something in the big land of Australia. It starts with the feeling of being stuck by the ocean, feeling sad and far from home. The song talks about how things aren't always as they seem, making the singer remember things differently. It shows Australia as a place with both beauty and tough times, mentioning its history with native people and settlers. The song also talks about feeling let down and forgotten but still finding strength in the land's old stories. The chorus repeats "Great Southern Land," showing how Australia is special but also full of challenges. Overall, the song captures the feeling of Australia's wild beauty and the struggle to understand its past and present.

Icehouse is a band from Australia. They started in Sydney in 1977 with the name Flowers. At first, they played rock music in pubs. Later on, they became famous for their new wave and synth-pop songs. They had songs that became popular and reached the Top 10 charts in Australia, Europe and the U.S. The main person in the band is Iva Davies. He sings, writes songs, produces records, and plays instruments like guitar, bass, keyboards, and even the oboe. The name "Icehouse" was chosen in 1981 and comes from a cold apartment Davies once liven in and a strange building across the street where homeless people lived.

Geoff Prince Iva appeared on The Project (news chat show) on 28/11/16. He set out to write a song that conveyed his love of his country after returning home from Europe very homesick, and aimed for the song to endure. He achieved both brilliantly and is still really loved, along with his song

I can't listen to this song anymore without crying. I was born and raised in Australia as a kid, but one day, my parents moved us overseas. What transpired in the years after have been the hardest years of my life, and every time I hear this song, the nostalgia, the memories, the thought of family and friends makes me heart shatter and soul ache for return. My health isn't great right now, so I can't just move back to Australia, but my God, how I miss it.

American here, just learned about this song in a very roundabout way, and I'm in love. Australia is criminally underrated for their music. Another legendary Australian group, Rufus Du Sol, inadvertently introduced me to this song by playing a remix of it in a short Instagram clip of a DJ set they played recently

When I go to the Botanic Gardens and sit by wall looking over the Harbour. I think of the lyrics " Sitting on a rainy day down in the harbour, watching as the grey shadows the bay." and I get a sense of a long often sad history of this country stretching way back into time. All the people who have lived and died, and all the people yet to live. And my battles and fears, the troubles of one man seem unimportant.

The pub was plastered in every currency on the planet and full of people from all over the world. Ended up driving (hungover) to Cloncurry for the job then crashed in the motel next to the bowls club. Full of Yanks filming "Survivor" which was strange but fun.

I hired a campervan and drove to the Isa, stayed a few days reminiscing my years in the mines (I drove the ST-5 on 13 level (one of the front loaders on display at Isa Outback)). Then a dip into NT, back to the Isa and up Normanton way. When I drove that road 50 some years ago it was just a dirt road with one house (a pub) on that 600 km journey. Now there's still only one house, but developed into a restaurant and camping ground. Headed to the Tablelands, had a look around, and went to Cairns for a trip on the railway to Kuranda and a skyrail return ride. Then back to Townsville for a week with visit to Magnetic Island. All in all 6 weeks in the land I really love.

As fellow respondents have said "Do It" Our Great Southern Land is not without its flaws, People do become naturally disillusioned by politicians like anywhere, but a good 95% of people I have spoken to, perhaps even more have come here and loved every minute. For the record, Australian rock greats like Ivor Davies and Jimmy Barnes are of foreign extraction and decided to stay. Other celebrities who are always overseas, like Hugh Jackman, Mel Gibson and Miranda Kerr are still Aussie at heart and love coming back. The song is correct, there is much to love and you will also. Cheers.

That's why I love music so much it triggers beautiful memories!!!

I grew up in FJ with "young talent time" etc, and "The Flying Doctors" and music from INXS, Icehouse, Midnight Oil and others, and later - when I came of age - got to see Mad Max and fell/still in love with the land of OZ!. I'm a few of the lucky ones to have studied and worked in Oz in their impressionable years - never forgotten!

In 1988 the Southern Stand of the Melbourne Cricket Ground had to be replaced because of "concrete cancer." During construction, as a joke, the new stand was called the "Great Southern Stand." On completion the MCG committee could not think of a better name so that is its name. "Icehouse" had no objections, a kind of immortality.
