The Seekers did an appearance at an Australian sports event some years ago in which they did “Waltzing Matilda” which,unless I’m mistaken,is considered Australia’s unofficial national anthem.An incredibly haunting performance

Their gospel songs are wonderful.

I was deeply confused...
Then, there was the draft hovering over us in ‘68.

They are brilliant - and, yes, Waltzing Matilda is Australia's most popular patriotic song. It could have become our National Anthem - it came second in the plebiscite we had on the subject in the late 1970s. Personally I wish that "God Bless Australia" had been a choice on the plebiscite - same tune as Waltzing Matilda, but better words for an anthem - but for some reason they didn't include it.

God Bless Australia at youTube.

Here in this God given land of ours, Australia
This proud possession, our own piece of earth
That was built by our fathers, who pioneered our heritage,
Here in Australia, the land of our birth.

God bless Australia, Our land Australia,
Home of the Anzac, the strong and the free
It's our homeland, our own land,
To cherish for eternity,
God bless Australia, The land of the free.

Here in Australia, we treasure love and liberty,
Our way of life, all for one, one for all
We're a peace loving race, but should danger ever threaten us,
Let the world know we will answer the call

God bless Australia, Our land Australia,
Home of the Anzac, the strong and the free
It's our homeland, our own land,
To cherish for eternity,
God bless Australia, The land of the free.

Waltzing Matilda by The Seekers

It was only recently that I realized that this wasn't just a love song to a woman named Matilda.And I had to look up "billabong" and "jumbuck".
