Australians all let us rejoice

Our land abounds in nature's gifts
Of beauty rich and rare,
In history's page let every stage
Advance Australia fair,
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia fair.
I know this bit, but I went to primary school in Oz!
This is the most important bit by the way. If you learn this bit you'll be alright I think

Advance Australia fair!
In joyful strains then let us sing,

When gallant Cook from Albion sail’d,
To trace wide oceans o’er,
True British courage bore him on,
Till he landed on our shore.
Then here he raised Old England’s flag,
The standard of the brave;
With all her faults we love her still,
Brittannia rules the wave!
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia fair!
3
Beneath our radiant southern Cross,
We’ll toil with hearts and hands;
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands;
For those who’ve come across the seas
We’ve boundless plains to share;
With courage let us all combine
To advance Australia fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia fair!
4
While other nations of the globe
Behold us from afar,
We’ll rise to high renown and shine
Like our glorious southern star;
From England, Scotia, Erin’s Isle,
Who come our lot to share,
Let all combine with heart and hand
To advance Australia fair!
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia fair!
5
Shou’d foreign foe e’er sight our coast,
Or dare a foot to land,
We’ll rouse to arms like sires of yore
To guard our native strand;
Brittannia then shall surely know,
Beyond wide ocean’s roll,
Her sons in fair Australia’s land
Still keep a British soul.
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia fair!

She was talking about the national anthem in the message but it wasn't till I read another post here a few days later that I reaslied that what it was actually called.
And no I don't know the bloody words..... I like the one that they have for the sports things though, that one "We are one, we are many, blah blah We are Australia" makes me sniffle that ones does...
Okay, going before I make an even bigger fool of myself.

and I am Australian I'll have you know. Complete divergence but they did a survey in the streets of London (Ralph McTell I know ) - showed people a Monet painting and asked who was the artist. Can't remember exactly but either 7% or 17% said Rolf Harris (they'd seen it on Rolf on Art).And the best of Rolf Harris single - Two little boys (soppy but a nice message).
