I'm a Canadian living in Australia since the mid 1960s. I came to this country as a 16 year old. I've lived here ever since. I've travelled around this fabulous continent ever since, and have seen so much, and have many memorable experiences. Australia is not like any other place on earth. The geography, the fauna and the flora. And more incredible beaches than you can count. Being an island continent Australia is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Southern Ocean and the Coral Sea. For any Americans who come here on their miserly 2 weeks vacation thinking they can see everything. Forget it. Pick one destination and check it out thoroughly. If you come in January to March, go to Tasmania. It's summer in Australia, and much cooler in Tassie. If it's July to September, try Cairns. A tropical paradise. Australia is a very large piece of real estate, so do your research. Most of the middle part of the continent is VERY sparsely populated. And travel distances by road are very large.
Mate, you’re not a Canadian… you’re an Aussie!👍
@@rickhurren4374 I thought the very same thing
When you are in the country travel distances are no longer talked about in terms of miles or kilometres but terms of time for example the distance from Melbourne to Warnambool is 3 and half hours not 164 miles It is a very big place and if you travel into the outback you MUST take extra WATER PETROL AND OIL a lot of tourists didn't and they were never seen again
as well as the arafura sea and tasman sea
I’m an Aussie and you’ve been living here longer than me 😂 your officially Aussie , I want to go to Canada also it looks amazing , I’ve been around the world and I can agree ✌🏻
I feel blessed everyday I wake in this glorious country, and to me, the best thing here, is my fellow Australians. I feel I won the birth lottery if there was one, could have been born anywhere, But I got here..Australia.
The music is from an Australian band Icehouse. They were really popular in the 80s, and their music is well worth checking out.
Iva Davies and Icehouse are still popular. I try and see them once a year. Great voice, great songs, great band.
Princess Dianna's favourite band for a period of time in the 80s.
Venezuela has some of the most beautiful country in the world, mountains and waterfalls, and not to mention the wonderful culture, it's just magnificent❤
Coming from an Aussie👍
My favourite Aussie song 💚💛
I lean more to Goanna and Solid Rock
Great song, with very descriptive lyrics. A song loved by us Aussies
Best country on the planet...the people look after you. Visit Oz, can't wait to share a beer with you! X
This is a 1982 hit by Icehouse, it was the lead single from their 2nd studio album.
Iva Davies ( Ice House ) is a classically trained oboe player who decided to give rock and pop a go.
Forget the rock, he doesnt seem to know what ROCK is, but his POP is often next level.
Not usually my taste in music but he does write great pop songs with brilliant arrangements.
Man of Colours is one of my all time favourite songs, and yet definitely not my style.
He uses his oboe as the intro to great effect , creating a perfect ambience to a deep story.
I don't know if he doesn't know what Rock is, I've heard him play a decent cover of the Sex Pistols "Pretty Vacant"
Man of Colours is one of my favourite songs as well. Another is Billy Joel's An Innocent Man. Both are the title tracks of hugely successful albums that usually play second fiddle to the hits off the albums.
As an Air Force Vet this brings me to tears every time. The government and outside forces are fucking this country big time.
Been that way since 75 😉
You would definitely love ❤ listening to this band Icehouse. They have some really good music and had some big hits.
Icehouse captures the distance, the space, the isolation, the extraordinary beauty ... the sheer complex vastness of Australia. Modern cities perched on the edge of the oldest continent on the planet. Australia has landscapes so unique, so startling, they really look and feel like another planet. And when you are in the Outback, standing on a rocky outcrop, casting your gaze in every direction and not seeing one other living thing for a hundred square kilometres, then you really feel you have been transported to a time hundreds of millions of years ago. It is humbling; it is sublime. The land is an immense and ancient presence that fundamentally shapes every aspect of a person.
In essence, "Great Southern Land" sounds like how I feel about being Australian.
The synths brings the eerie other worldliness of Australia, particularly for the early colonialists
Anyone will tell you its a prisoner island
Hidden in the summer for a million years
Icehouse released the song on 9 August 1982 if you like it you should check out their other hits - No Promises, Crazy, Electric Blue are a few
I fought for this land during the gulf war and I'll die for this country. I'm a proud Australian. Love this song and your reaction.
I'm glad you enjoyed this video and song and yes I'm very lucky to live in a beautiful country
This is one of my favourites too
Wonderful reaction (we do exist and are lucky to have been born in the Lucky Country).
Thanks for posting this. I grew up listening to Icehouse and they are still one of the greatest Australian bands of all time and this song in particular is a classic. I love the video too, Ive traveled around around this wide brown land a lot and been to some of the places shown. Makes me proud to be an Aussie girl, best wishes to you from Western Australia
I used to have the 12 inch extended version of GSL on vinyl in 1984 & played it at wedding receptions whilst a music DJ here in australia.
Much love from GERALDTON WESTERN AUSTRALIA ♥️♥️🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
I always feel like a proud Aussie watching your vids.
I'm sure a billion people have told you to listed to 'We are Australian' and 'i still call Australia home'.
The Song is simply called Great southern land, the song, (This is Australia) Sounds of Then was by another band!
Very haunting song and one of my all time favourite songs and Australian Bands.🥰✨
Its a prisoner island hidden in the summer for 1,000,000yrs, The video is a tourist video. The original was by the band Icehouse from the early 1980's, We love this song here, sings to the spirit of this country and its impact on the indigenous people. Its was like a true National Anthem acknowledging the original people and the Europeans take over. please read the lyrics and watch it again
The good old days😊
7:05 WE used to slide down the dunes on old bits of board. My mates board had some old nails in it. He slid down and then off to hospital. It ripped his nutsack and under his arse.
I'm a 65 year old Aussie, retired and travelling this great land and finding out things I didn't realise.
Great song of the 80's and I was living in New when it came out. Number 1 for weeks.😊
THANK you for sharing OUR COUNTRY 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺♥️♥️♥️♥️
I live in Redcliffe, Queensland and across Morten Bay is Morten Island which has some of the highest sand dunes in the world (285 metres). When I was a kid, we'd get in a boat and go across the bay and camp on the island for a couple of weeks. We'd grab our big pieces of cardboard, climb the dunes and toboggan all the way down. The dune was so high that you'd pick up enough speed that you'd fly across the beach at the bottom of the dune until you were almost in the surf!! Great times! Thanks for the video, I really appreciated it.
I agree totally with what you were saying about making a connection with the place you live in.
I am from the tropics of northern Australia and spent over 6 years living in Spain.
Spain is permanently ingrained within me.
Loved the culture and music to such an extent that even today, most of the music I listen to is Spanish.
I subscribed to your channel and am wondering why you made this channel exclusively about Australia.
G'day from Tasmania , Australia .. Please listen to this great song via Mitch Tambo version..It's as good as the original ..also features indigenous lyrics in conjunction with original english ones ...it's brilliant too.
yep its the 1 I have
If you came to Australia and visited one beach every day it would take you twenty five years to see them all.
Here's a timelapse video of my city, the Gold Coast in Queensland. Everything shown is around 30min drive from my house. Pretty catch song too, if it's the type of music you like. Video's called "DestinationGoldCoast - Australia's Gold Coast in Timelapse".
1:39 got here in 1850 Looking for gold. Ended up working on the railway. Still got a pub in England. Owned by others but they recognise us. 400 years we owned it.
It’s as beautiful as it looks and I’m so happy to live here.
The only thing the video missed was the snow fields. We get more snow than the French alps, the world doesn’t know about our great snow fields.
REALLY.....more snow than the French Alps ?
Are you sure ?
Wasn’t it snow at 2.00
No, take another look. Snowfields are there.
@@RassskleI don't know about the French Alps but Australia's snowfields are larger than Switzerland's. 😊
@heatherfruin5050
We do have snow, yes......but most international skiiers call them sludge fields, because they don't have a lot of quality snow. lol
NEXT: Qantas I still call Australia home advert.
Then The Seekers: farewell concert “I am Australian”.
Being a English man, my god we had awesome Australian pop groups in our British charts in the 80's. Men at work, icehouse , pseudo echo , inx , John Farnham , midnight oil , etc , etc .
The 'huge' stadium is the MCG. Melbourne Cricket Ground holds 100 Thousand + people. Used for many sports and Concerts.. come see. 👀
She actually said it as the footage showed the Adelaide Oval pre redevelopment
It's the Band ICEHOUSE
You'll need to look up the ghan and Indian pacific they are train that travel across parts of Australia 🇦🇺
Your on them for days with sleepers and they stop at certain times for sun set or sun rise with breakfast and open fire
I think you'll like
Cheers mate 🦘🇦🇺👍
Your English is good enough to visit Australia. I'm so proud of you! We don't speak the same as other countries but I can hear that you have the skills at hand.
thank you!
A huge stadium.
Yep.
It's a cricket oval.
They play footy on it.
7:57 I only have to go 80km West to get cold. When you get out of the humidity it gets cold. I had to dig myself into the ground one night ang put a ground sheet over me to cut the wind chill. The digging sounds hard but it was not a shovel it was with a knife.
😅I'm from Australia I love it!!!!!!!
Hail to our True Native people
It has some quirky lyrics like standing on the edge of an edless ocean... if it was endless it wouldn't have an edge. And, hidden in the sun ofr a million years, to be hidden in the light!
5:32 2 blocks away I am in the water. I watchout but it is safe to swim. I grew up here and I can see the signs. Wear Mums stockings if required. The stingers can't penetrate mum's stockings.
We have snow too!🦘
"You'll never get bored down there"
just for your interest - a young kangaroo (and any marsupial) is called a joey.
Singing country is a very old tradition in Australia (see “song lines”)
We also have ACDC.
Oh and The Bee Gees "too much heaven" real tear jerker😢❤
0:45 it sounds 80's because it WAS released in 1982! And I think the video you are watching was probably released by Australian Tourism en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Southern_Land
5:53 it should be important to all humans as its the oldest living culture in the world.And if I am not mistaken you can actually hear some Aboriginal instruments used in the song.
The video covered most of Aus (Tas I think got overlooked but then people forget to draw it on maps) - most people just see the Opera House and Sydney Harbour bridge (which I have a soft spot for because I live here and smile every time I get transport across the bridge because there is always someone taking video or photos) - or they see the red dusty outback, but we got it all, even snow at a place we aptly call the snowy mountains - shortest mountains on the planet but it snows enough to beat even the Swiss Alps)
Shortest mountains on the planet ? Huh?
@@barnowl.
Yeah not really.....just not very high. Australia's mountains are higher than anything in the UK and the GDR is probably one of the longer ranges in the world.
The baby Kangaroos on the beach are at a place called Cape Hillsborough in North Queensland.
Ice house great band
People come to OZ from all over the world, & if they "get it" this land gets in their blood, & takes ownership. Why would we want to go anywhere else?
Try listening to Yothu Yindi; tribal voice.
TOTAL RESPECT. Your Cute. I hope someone has told you lately. HAIL FROM OZ
When I was a kid f,;::"- flies everywhere...now.. where's the f??,;" flies gone? Dung beetles. Onya CSIRO
Try to get the original version with ICEHOUSE singing in it. Much better , you would love it even more. EDIT. I’m from Australia 55 years old and seen them live in the 80s trust me.✊
Nobody I think has mentioned this not the Original Video. But I do like this One. If memory is correct this was for the Olympics in 2000 Australia. Not to Sure
G Day. HAIL FROM OZ
I've had Ciders. Woooooo
From Prisoner island to something Special
You know whats not fun about sliding down sand dunes? Sand. It gets everywhere.
Blue Monday in the Blue mountains Australia.
HAIL FROM OZ
Australian Band Icehouse.
Consider that Australia has 26 million people total & it's the same size as the connected US states. We have no Canada or Mexico to contend with. We're very friendly with New Zealand & Papua.
There's another one of these called "Sounds of Then (This is Australia)" which is really appropriate for here. ruclips.net/video/ML9h3I5Uktw/видео.htmlsi=LIEnZI1K1wi777Zy
Yeah!.......we get a mention to ❤ thankyou from NZ my bro 😊🐑
@77GEEWHK we may stir each other a lot but who else is there that we can trust? I think nobody
Indonesia's been pretty friendly lately too.
@@AUmarcus I don't believe there's commonality here. It's more of an acceptance of differences because there are so many tourists to Bali. It's more about money.
@@RexAlfieLee
Well the tourism has existed for ages, even when the relationship wasn't so good.
Yes , it’s a beautiful place. But. The only thing people remember is the Flies 🪰🪰🪰
Yep subscribed. I would be one of those A holes (Arse ) is Australian. English actually. I said to a bloke today about little used words and I said Kilter. You know that painting is out of kilter. He said I don't know what you are talking about. Kilter is the level. If something is off kilter it is out of level or not true. You can also tell a story off kilter.
Oh t yeah that was a Yankie acting as an Aussie.
We can pick them.
well it didnt show our snow feilds or any historic towns
Sandboarding or Sand Surfing.
I've only heard of sand sledding and sandboarding, it's good to learn something new
Our British ancestors sent us here as punishment. 🤗😊😋😎
It's called Sand or Dune Surfing
Climb back up dunes? That's what 4 wheelers and 4wd's are for..... You're thinking of sandboarding btw...
When are you coming? I know you want to.😊
You should react to I Am Australian by The Seekers, check out their performance from the Special Farewell Performance(all 5 verses).
ok first thing you had the volume way too low .
OR A TOURIST AD
Please invest in some big headphones..ear buds you dont get a full enough sound...
Its nsw ( sydney ) and quennsland ( brisbane etc ) thats the beautiful part of australia. When they show australia to the world thats what they show. If you come to australia you should visit those places and if you dont then it wont feel like your in australia
Pfft, obviously you don't get out much lol
Find you another one Australia has heaps
You're not listening to the lyrics! They are very meaningful! Shut up and LISTEN. It not a tourist video.
The video did not show much of out unique flora and forests.
Sandboarding
5:41 just smear yourself in vegemite and swim to tease the sharks ;)
I used to swim in the ocean until one morning fishing a 3m shark beached itself chasing fish. Yeah he is too big for me. Swimming in the ocean the odd fish used to glance your leg but I don't do shark.
Can you do a reaction to Dio Rock n Roll Children Please
It was originally a place for hardcore convicts etc No denying that.
When I moved to Australia my relatives in UK referred to me as their undernourished relative from the penal colony. Oh how wrong they were.🤣🤣🤣
@@dianacasey6002 Awesome
Great song, you talk to much Fran.😏
4:02 I walk bare foot because I am an antennae of the Earth. We all need to Earth. So easy and cheap. Just contact the ground.
ST0P TALKING AND LISTEN TO THE SONG FOR GODS SAKE
Stop interrupting. Listen to the song.Aaargh!
You talk to much. Listen to the music
As a musician, this song is so repetitive it is one of the most boring songs to play. The scenes in the video make it more tolerable.
I doubt you're a musician
@@PjRjHj I doubt you know what a musician is
Unfortunately it took white Australians a long time to only start to understand Connection to the Land
🙄
Deadpan reaction too much talking over vid
