Put your songs up that make you proud to be an Australian and try not to put the same song up as someone else has. :) :) :) :)

I Still Call Australia Home
by Peter Allen

I've been to cities that never close down
From New York to Rio and old London Town
But no matter how far or how wide I roam I still call Australia home.

I'm always travelling, I love being free
And so I keep leaving this sun and this sea
But my heart lies waiting over the foam
I still call Australia home.

All the sons and daughters spinning around the world
Away from their family and friends
But as the world gets older and colder
It’s good to know where your journey ends.

But someday we’ll all get together once more
When all of the ships come back to the shore
I realise something I’ve always known
I still call Australia
I still call Australia
I still call Australia home

They're both kitschy, awful songs, sorry.

I like The Seekers' I Am Australian as well as Road to Gundagai, Waltzing Matilda (preferably without lyrics), and yes, Rule Britannia, which makes me feel proud to be an Australian, and where my ancestors derived.

More of a poem, but a great message.

I argued with the guy who made those videos for a while a long time ago. He's not the sharpest tool in the shed.
