I knew we were right....
Hi Guy
With reference to the question last night of what is Australia's national anthem, we were right! It's not God Save the Queen, it IS Advance Australia Fair. I got the following from a google search...
Australia’s National Anthem
Advance Australia Fair was proclaimed as our national anthem after exhaustive surveys of national opinion. In 1974 the Australian Bureau of Statistics conducted a national opinion poll of 60,000 and in 1977 a plebiscite for a national song was conducted. On each occasion, Advance Australia Fair was the preferred option, and it was in consideration of such support that Advance Australia Fair was proclaimed as the national anthem by the Governor-General on 19 April 1984.

Re: I knew we were right....
Just saw your messages. Your right 'Advance Australia Fair' is the National Anthem. Although some people would prefer it to be 'Waltzing Matilda'.
