No offence to our current National Anthem, but this honestly should be the National Anthem. It literally screams Australia more than Advance Australia Fair
Who can forget this song being sung at Cardiff Arms Park when the Wallabies toured in 1967 to defeat Wales for the first time and defeated the Barbarians.
I love it, heard the aussies singing it before a rugby match long ago and I thought it was a joke song, as I got older I have deep respect for that song and the history of it and its much better than the USA copy which they sing now.
I dated an Aussie and I lived in an Antipeodian house, when I worked and lived in London in my 20s. I also worked with lots of Aussies, and for some reason the accent is easy for a Swede to adopt, people thought I was an Aussie lol
Abraham Morrison late to the party but the Desert Rats were the British 7th Armoured Division who held Tobruk. The Aussies were integral to the defence of Tobruk however
Australia is the most beautiful land on this planet! A beautiful mix of English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh... What a shame it's become a new South East Asia!!!
we all shagged matilda we all shagged matilda we all shagged matilda and so did our mates she moaned and she groaned as she took it up the billabong we all shagged matilda and so did our mates
I love everything about Australia. You guys are the nicest bunch of people I've ever talked to no matter where I've met you. Can't hold anywhere else with such high regard. And both the anthems (Advance Australia Fair and this) are very beautiful. I'd love to move to Australia at somepoint down the line for sure.
Ahh, you'd say bland but mind being British our anthem is God Save the Queen which is very uninteresting and very outdated aha. Waltzing Matilda is the better one of the two though :-P
Cyclopgamingfreaks It's awkward for me, I'm Scottish so GSTQ is our official anthem with the much better (in my opinion) Flower of Scotland adopted as our unofficial anthem. I guess I dislike GSTQ for some of the anti-Scottish parts in it. The Welsh anthem is amazing if you've never heard that you 100% should give that a listen, I like the German one as well.
Why wasn't I born in Australia, instead of shitty Britain? Our anthem is about some decrepit old hag sitting on her fat arse in a palace paid for by us, and you've got songs like this (I realise it isn't the national anthem, but it really should be). It's not fair!
And then...Rugby League, all the tackling and so on...

WOW!! Beautiful !
Nobody here after Australia is very likely eliminated from the world cup?
It's been a rough 16 years since this was uploaded 😆
Masterful production.

The doubtful turret crucially wrestle because hedge hemperly whistle under a bright market. questionable, foregoing birthday
Does anybody know who is the singer in this version?
John Williamson.
freedom song
In the early 2000s, the Aussies were so impressed by the talent of Ireland's young Brian O'Driscoll that they sang Waltzing O'Driscoll during a game
I love it, heard the aussies singing it before a rugby match long ago and I thought it was a joke song, as I got older I have deep respect for that song and the history of it and its much better than the USA copy which they sing now.

Great salute from Russia !!!
I remember when I was a young lad, my dad explained this song to me, as I was fascinated by it. Fantastic stuff. Cheers Australia, from an Englishman.
Easy going peoplt I love you! Greateast salute from Russsia/
Simply wonderful.
Aussies good I tell ya wot
See you all soon in CANZUK.
The Desert Rats were Aussies and their stubborn defence of Tobruk was key in WWII.

can anyone find the actual video of this live? i cant find it anywhere
Who sings this? Been looking for this version a while.
Waltzing Matilda is the best.
fuck. i still cry even after 6 years. this is the True Australian anthem if you ask me
Love this. Wish the Aussies still sung it at the rugby.
Why don't they?
@@Tip_Top got banned by irb
@@mitchell6757 thanks! Why did they ban it? I can Google but prefer to wait a year for an answer.
Not long now 😂
They do, all the Aussie living in London. I worked with Aussie, Kiwis and Saffas during the Rugby World Cup in 1999, it was a blast
Get your shit stars off our flag! Great tune though!
Yankee Doodle dandy

I've always found Advance Australia Fair very bland and uninteresting

William McIntosh I actually like God save the queen better than AAF, but I think that Japan and France have the best national anthems

I don't think that attitude would really fit in that well in Oz. They don't really celebrate whinging poms.
Christopher Hargreaves Show some respect for our constitution you piece of shit
Nah the argument about the monarchy and the having the union jack on your flag is a big issue in Auss.
Just because you'd rather be Australian doesn't mean you have to shit all over your own country. Grow up.
JoshRatts he’s right though fuck the queen
watch for Bojna Cavoglave
Aussie Aussie Aussie.... Oi Oi Oi
TroystonB one song youve only got one song
