Well, it's a special day here in Australia people. It's Australia Day here, our national day. As such, I think it's appropriate for us all to join in and sing the national anthem of Australia. (And no, it's NOT "Waltzing Matilda", regardless of what you all may think... :P)
Are you ready? Then let's GO!
Australians all let us rejoice
For we are young and free
We've golden soil and wealth for toil,
Our home is girt by sea:
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.
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.
And you wanna know the scary thing? The number of people in Australia who actually KNOW all of the words of this anthem aren't as many as should do. It's not like in America, where you all get taught the national anthem from birth practically, and sing it every day... :P
NEhow, to all the wanderers on Gamespot from the Land of Oz, I bid you greetings and salutations! Happy Australia Day, people! Hope you had lots of lamb and cracked a beer or two while you were at it. :D
