Indians React to I Still Call Australia Home 

We have a lot of Indians in Australia, I'm glad our countries are good friends, India is in my top 3 destinations to visit, love from AUS

As an Aussie myself, that Qantas advert always makes me realise how lucky I am to be living in such a beautiful country.

No mater how far or how wide I roam I still call Australia home 🌻

I love songs from people who are proud of their homeland. ❤

I'm Australian and feel proud and teary when I hear this song. Our eldest child has been living in the US for almost 2 years and we miss him terribly

Another Australian patriotic song is 'I Am Australian', by The Seekers in their live farewell concert. Also check out 'Great Southern Land,' by Icehouse with wonderful Australian scenery. We have many Indian migrants living in Australia. My partner and I travelled through parts of India years ago. I loved the beautiful, colorful clothes that the lovely women wore.

I first remember hearing this song in 1980 when Peter Allen sang it for the Queen and Prince Philip at the Sydney Opera House, and I still get a tear in my eye. Thank you for your kind words, love from Australia.

When flying back to Australia and we get first sight of the harbour bridge we get immense pleasure and a feeling we are home.❤

This song was originally written and performed by Aussie, Peter Allan who was a successful Broadway performer. He wrote the song as a tribute - he lived in the US but still called Australia home. Qantas adopted the song as part of its advertising campaign many years ago and this is the latest promotion of it. In my opinion, some of the earlier ads were better vocally but the ads always feature the national choir. Non-Australians may not recognise some of the people featured in it: Kylie Minogue, Hugh Jackman (who actually played the role of Peter Allan in the stage hit The Boy From Oz), Adam Goodes (at the swimming pool) an indigenous Australian Rules Footballer, Ash Barty now-retired world tennis champion, the Campbell sisters (the two women swimming in the ocean) Olympic swimming medalists, the Bangarra Dance group (the indigenous dancers dancing on the salt plain). The pink water is Hutt Lagoon, coloured pink by particular algae. The song opens with traditional Aboriginal musical instruments - the didgeridoo and the clapsticks. The "wow" you expressed was for Uluru - the great monolith in central Australia, sacred to indigenous peoples. Qantas is one of the oldest commercial airlines and the ad at the end shows the various Qantas logos. Maybe you guys can jump on a Qantas flight one day and come visit!!

Man i miss home. Can't wait to see my family again

Please watch “I am Australian” from the Seekers on their Farewell Concert in Melbourne. They are in their 70s when performing this and they are still incredible in this clip. Their live performances from the 60’s onwards are incredible too. Most enduring amazing Australian band we have to come out of Australia. They were HUGE in the UK from the 1960’s onwards they just retired as a band about 20 years ago. 🙋‍♀️🇦🇺

In my eyes, this is the most beautiful ad ever made. 🇦🇺👍

Two beautiful people. Thanks for having a channel.

Our national airline uses this song for their advertising but they did not make the song. It’s a very famous song that’s been around for nearly 50 years written by a great Australian singer, Peter Allen.

Before the pandemic I travelled to the US. After 2 weeks it was great to see that red kangaroo on the plane tail and when boarding we felt we were already home. Love qantas.❤️🐨

Whenever I travel overseas I like to sing this song to myself as we pass over the Australian Coastline

It's a great song originally performed and written our by Peter Allen, and the airline used it for this ad which is a fantastic ad, but people don't seem to know this song is not Qantas's creation and credit should be given to Peter, who is deceased now, but had a lot of big hit songs, you should check out the original song and his other music such as his song Tenterfield Saddler, which he wrote about his grandfather.

We are a lucky country. Thank you for understanding that most people feel that way about their country. But this one is mine and I love it unconditionally.

The airline running the add Qantus has had a series of public relations disasters and at this time was trying to ride some nostalgia to paper over the cracks. They produced a very effective add. A lot of the add uses images to make Australians feel good about themselves. The first shot is Ularu in central Australia a site sacred to our First Nations people. The first person we see is a First Nations elder. There are a number of successful show business personalities and then some athletes. The young woman on the phone is one of our greatest tennis players. The person about to enter the pool is one of our greatest football players. Both are First Nations people. The two women in the pool are great athletes one a disabled person. The last shot is female rather than male pilots. Thus the add touches strings by showing Australia as a country which celebrates diversity. Something which fills them with pride. Riding on this Qantus was able to weather some more scandals and remains popular

Makes me feel such pride in my country, Australia and my fellow Aussies. 😁❤️🇦🇺

This has been remade over generations each version has a different footage from those eras The one you just watched is the most recent version The original was done in the 80s Look up the song done by ice house Great Southern land

I feel so emotional every time I hear or see this.

I remember flying to the US on a holiday of only two weeks. When I flew home to Australia and I could see the coastline, I burst into tears because I was home and safe. I guess everyone feels the same way about their country.

Great video, very simple but very powerful and emotional.🙏 I was born and bred here, I still think it's the best place to live in the world. Thank you for the video and your comments.🍻😉👍🇦🇺

No matter where we go. Australia always calls us home again.

The song was written by Peter Allen, and Quantas used it in the ad.

🇦🇺 best place in the world!

What a nice pair of Indians your comments are appreciated. Yes India is a beautiful country, but Australia is our home and we belong to it... God bless India our dear dear friend

Love to go and live in India for a couple of years.

As an Australian, I really enjoyed your reaction! Your channel came up in my recommended :)

This song was written by the late great Peter Allen and if you love watching Hollywood songs, you need to watch Peter Allen sing his songs from Broadway show the Boy From Oz and this ing is in it where he performs it live. It’s incredible, 🙋‍♀️🇦🇺

That song should have been our national anthem! The current one gives me the creeps!

It's an Aussie tv ad it's been re done love you guys by the way

You need to travel down the Australian music rabbit hole - perhaps begin with John Farnham - he is one of our national treasures - the call him "The Voice"

This is a beautiful Rock Opera that I haven't heard before. Should check out November rain by guns and roses

Should react to 'I am Australian - the seekers farewell performance' very special song to us.

Watch Fluffy’s Gift Basket!

these guys are cool lol

Do the red white and blue by tobie Keith

This is not really about being proud of our nation. This is about belonging, identity and a place called home, with family that love and care about you. It came out just after we went through the worst series of disasters and then covid hit. We were exhausted and we have had to go through people from other nations talking for us, or a world that ignores us or tells us how horrible we are and speaks lies about us.Truth is majority of people don't really know who we are and don't really know our nation. So much have been asked of us and we are incredibly loyal and have been to Qantas. This is them giving back to us and helping us remember no matter what we have been through our nation is home and is beautiful as are we. At the time of covid, and after the worst fire, drought, plaques, and then china and other nations doing a gang up on us,, we didn't want to get up anymore. At the time of having our nation closed and shut down, where we are, we caught up on some much needed rest, are area went through one of the worst fire disasters. We appreciate those that weren't able to rest and had to keep going and they did so for us. So this is like hug that says keep going. We are Australians together, we are family and we are home. Its them communicating we are here for you and we will face life together.
