This song was the theme tune for a docu series (I think) on Australia which was shown years ago in Ireland. Loved it them, love it now.

Also love Johnson's Aeroplane by INXS...means even more to me now that I appreciate the reality of drought for farmers here, inc OH's parents.

On an unrelated point: learn to spell, and ask your next door neighbour for a cup of apostrophes.



Why? Is it suddenly a crime to love your own country?

Perhaps I should tell all the homesick Poms on the MBTUK forum that they just "need to get out more". Or write to the Beeb and tell them to stop playing Jerusalem at the Proms because people "need to get out more".
No its not a crime to love your own country,but for that song to nearly reduce you to tears???Give me a break!

'Under the Milky Way' by the Church - 'Reptile' too.

'Starfish' is one of my favourite albums of all time.

I know it's cheesy and I never really paid much attention to the song until I heard Colin Hay sing an acoustic version of Land Down Under on Spicks and Specks one night and made me realise what an amazingly unique and listenable voice he has. Also has one of the best flute pieces after Jethro Tull's Living In The Past
