As a young Aboriginal male, this song makes me cry.. it leaves me awestruck after i hear this song, and judiths voice. I just close my eyes and listen to the lyrics, no matter where your from, what you look like, WE are Australian! Love the Seekers beyond words
🥺❤️🇦🇺❤️🥺
I'm from London, I have relatives over there. Be proud my Friend.....We are all brothers.
It makes me cry too. I try to sing along proudly but my voice always breaks from being so choked up from emotion. It acknowledges the custodians of our great southern land as being the first Australians, it acknowledges the convicts from my ancestors and is all inclusive for every person in Australia. Definitely should be our national anthem.
I'm Scottish and when i was young i listened to punk rock then Pink Floyd,Yardbirds,David Bowie etc.But this song tops the lot.A shorter version should be the Aussie national anthem....Yes for a few minutes there i was an Aussie.
Thank you for this comment.
This should be Australia’s national anthem,it’s so beautiful. RIP Judith Durham.
It is
It is sung at the citizenship ceremony.
Advance Australia Fair has neither rhyme or rhythm. This song has everything. R.I.P. Judith Durham. I was a teenager listening to all her songs in the Irish Midlands all through the 60's & 70's. What a beautiful voice, so sad.
@@foidin15 Thank you Judith for bringing so much beauty and comfort in this world. Love from the Netherlands.
Yes Yes Yes from holland
I am an American... and this song breaks my heart. We used to have a dream, but it has been lost in these last few years. Every time I hear this I break down and weep... God bless Australia. You are what we hoped to be. Our hope is gone. I ask you all to carry "the flame" as far as you can for the rest of us...
I think the differences between our two nations are that the US values are religious beliefs, reverence for the military and veterans, respect given to power and wealth. We are almost a secular nation, our values are cultural as opposed to political, and everyone is regarded as more or less equal. It's not perfect, but more harmonious.
This song also breaks my heart....I'm canadian but I feel this song and from the perspective of the Australian aboriginals and the early settlers colonizing the continent. Then there's Slim dusty, singing about waltzing matilda who's also referenced in this great song. It's a spectacular song, period! There is so much to be said about this Australian anthem.
@@erinundra canada is also a melting pot of nations and I completely understand your perspective about religious and political agendas. The USA has lost her bearings and roots of how the country came to be.
@Carol Purcell The USA is a wonderful, incredibly innovative country with limitless potential. Another melting pot, like Canada, Australia and other western countries with roots mostly from the U.K. & Europe. America is very divided though and for many different reasons. The USA is such an amazing democracy, you guys just need to be more accepting and inclusive of different ideas, races, cultures, political agendas, sexual preferences, religious freedoms etc, etc, etc. I think the world of most US citizens, you are our neighbours, friends and family in Canada.
@@bradgibson15 the US are warmongering horrors you dreamer. They've wiped out about 25 million people since the end of WWII. 'we need to be more accepting' you patronising prat, preaching to people who are way better informed than you.
I'm not Australian. Never been to Australia either, but this song brings me to tears. Such a beautiful tune!
Judith has the most beautiful voice i have ever heard, you are not alone, i sit here listening to this with a tear in my eye. RIP Judith
My Mother loved the Seekers. Only now as an old man have I begun to appreciate Judith Durham's voice. It is uniquely beautiful.
Thanks Mate
Go to Australia. You won’t be disappointed. Great country, great people, great experience!
I pray for an Australia that protects the individual freedoms, choices of its nationals
As an Aussie - I agree this should be our national anthem. Nevertheless, the passing of Judith tonight, as sad as it is, leaves us with her legacy with songs like this. What a wonderful star she has been and she can RIP knowing that we Aussies will be singing this song forever.
Agree with everything you say
.What a tribute to Judith if it was the national anthem. We won't see her likes again
🙏👼
Too right mate
@@joshtebb2390 👍
@@davidhague3401 even tough i am from switzerland, i think that your are so right!
I'm A proud Aboriginal woman, & iv always loved this song ever since I was a little girl & I still love it Now!!! Judith durham was a beauty.
Well done. Thank you. Why can’t we just all be Australian. None of this woke division caused by Albanese
@@patkelly6349how to say I didn't understand what the voice entailed, without saying I didn't understand what the voice entailed. Well done - you are one of the over 70% of fellow Aussies that made our indigenous feel like second class citizens in their own country. Go and do some nursing in the outback, as I have, and you would see that our indigenous are not treated the same as every other person. I called the coppers 20 years ago for an indigenous lady that was being sexually assaulted in real time in my back lane in Kalgoorlie - the coppers didn't even COME!! So, do you still think we are all the same? My sister worked in family and children's service and her stories are more gut churning than my nursing stories. The voice wasn't about wokeness. Why do you think that the aged pension is released for indigenous 10 years before us whites?? If we are all the same then why is their life expectancy at least a decade less than ours?? You should have done some actual research before you closed your mind.
I offer you my heartfelt hugs. I make no comments regarding what has gone before me apart from my sincere apology. Stand tall and proud Aboriginal Lady, for you are and you will always be a keeper of the truth. Without your words the world will never know the past of Australia… You are one….and you are one of many….and I stand proudly alongside you Aboriginal Lady ❤️
@@patkelly6349 I'm a 73 year old Australian Male, born 1950. All that I know was taught to me, 1965-1980-ish, then, 'things' started to change, evolve, progress, and significantly, 'recognise', in many ways, literature, history, education, and much more, from and about the 40.000+ plus year old First People of Australia. I applaud this.
I have known The Seekers for a long time, because I am 79 years old. It was wonderful then and now! Judith's voice is unparalleled! Thank you very much for the video! Very touching!
I am Japanese. When I was a university student, I went to study abroad in Australia and encountered this song. Living in Australia has given me many things in my life. When I listen to this song after returning to Japan, various memories of my study abroad days come back. I am grateful to have come across such a wonderful song. your singing voice is the best Judith. Rest in peace.
So sweet
I am Australian. I'm happy that you got so much from Australia.
I have a Japanese friend and I went to Japan for her wedding. I traveled from Kumomoto City to Tokyo, stopping along the way. The beauty of Kyoto, and the sadness and hope of Hiroshima were two highlights.
The Japanese people are so considerate and respectful, and the culture and technology are fascinating. I can't wait to go back again.
we all know Mr Cook prison story, thanks for a beautiful country！
You Japanese are wonderful people❤
I am Australian and when I hear this song it makes me proud of who I am, and always makes me tear up, no matter how many times I hear it. It is our true anthem.
I am not even Australian . . . but when I hear and watch this amazing group of true artists, I cry.
I don't know why I am crying . . . and I cannot, in any, way explain it . . . but I cry.
It is because this song promotes unity from diversity, something that the United States has lost where the melting pot has morphed to diversity for diversity's sake. No more unity in the "United" States which have become the divided states.
It's the Spirit of a people who want to be a good mate.
Changing with time I guess but I'm lucky to be old & knew people with that Spirit.
You're not the only one; same here. Pure beauty, I think. In whatever form it comes, it has that effect. :)
Same here. Love from the Netherlands.
your are not the only one, love from switzerland
Wake up Australia. This is a national anthem if I ever heard one. What a wonderful, enjoyable, descriptive piece of history and music. Judith’s voice is amazing.
Yep. I agree. To me, this is our anthem.
Unfortunately the government just like in the U.K. are so stuck up their own asses they can’t see this song for all it’s worth. It would also mean they have to believe in their own country.
Any song by the Seekers could be your anthem.
@@davidrainford4787 no…not any song by the seekers is called “ I Am Australian”
Imagine if it was the Australian Anthem
In tears. American here. Love this so much. RIP, Judith. :(
I am British but this song brings tears even to my eyes! And the voice of the late Judith Durham is out of this world. Would be an absolutely fitting Aussie National Anthem.
I’d do anything to have it as the anthem!
As I've said before Judith Durham had possibly the purest voice ever
I am a migrant, but now proudly Australian. This song never fails to give me goosebumps every time I hear it. Absolutely beautiful! 🙏
Good to have you here!
Sign the petition on change, look up I am Australian!
How can i get in touch with athol guy or bruce woodley or keith potger. I know athol guy did a talking about the cd's and the new stuff but was talking from a culture center do you know which one it is
Welcome aboard mate! Glad to have you here.
Me too. I migrated to Australia from the UK in 1988 as a grown-up but I loved the Seekers when I was a little girl and Judith's beautiful voice always sent shivers down my spine. The Seekers were a great band and I think they were more popular around the world than they ever were in their home country. Still very sad that it took the Australian media 3 days to report Judith's untimely death; sometimes I think Australia is so desperate to be seen as "cool" on the world stage it forgets its humanity.
Not australian , but everytime I listen, this song makes my entire day
Australians should be proud that Judith Durham was born there
same, proud to be american, but proud to say, australia is a friend and even to be looked up to. Great song, should be your N. anthem, and great group.
Seriously? White is right?
fabulous
YOU'RE A LEGEND MATE
My brother emigrated to Australia in 1966, came back for a visit in 1993. I visited him in 2018 and found it to be a wonderful country. He loved the country and lifestyle, he was a true Australian. I lost him in December 2022. This song brings me to tears every time I hear it. So many happy memories of a wonderful brother.
My deepest sympathy to you n your family.
Thank you, for you kind thought, especially to a stranger.
I'll know I made it to Heaven if I hear Judith Durham singing
@@rodders62 "Dead" teaches us the true meaning of grief compassion love.
So sorry to hear this,but am glad you had those❤ memories
The Seekers, what a Band, such harmony. I grew up listening to this. I'm now sixty years old. Their music, passion and harmonies will never die. Thank you Judith (what a voice) thank you to The Seekers. Your voices, your songs, hold my youth even after all the passing of the years. Forever young, forever Fresh, you encapsulated the sound, you just gave us everything. Remarkable and I love you now as I loved you then. "I'll Never Find Another You" was the tune that walked me to my husband on our Wedding Day. Many many happy memories, I shared your music with my children, beginning at the earliest opportunity with "Morning Town Ride". You hold my heart then and to this day. God Bless you All, and thank you for all the music. You are absolute Legends.
Very sad today at the passing of Australia’s greatest female voice RIP our lovely Judith Durham.
Hello beautiful how are you doing?
I am a proud Scotsman and British , but my heart lies in Australia 🦘, I have been very lucky to have visited 6 times , I am now 60 and dream of one last visit , one day I will return hopefully
Hoping for you...🤞 Carry a bit of us who'll never get the chance with you!
I'm an American and this song brings a tear to my eye as well. What a wonderful song. What a wonderful group singing it. I've enjoyed the Seekers music since I was a boy. Judith has such a powerful voice. It broke my heart when I learned of her passing. God bless her. God bless Australia.
We’ve lost two Australian icons in just a few days, JUDITH AND OLIVIA RIP ladies you will be remembered always. ❤
I am 72 years old & brought up listening to groups like the seekers. I am so proud of them & I am proud to be Australian.
I'm a londoner , went to Australia last year for the first time and thought what a wonderful, beautiful place with wonderful beautiful people, my thoughts are with Australia , you'll always win xx
Come on back after this coronvirus stuff is over. We would love to see you :)
I'm from Old South Wales but just for five minutes watching this I'm Australian. Pass us a tinny Bruce.
Today the world is sad, Australians are devastated, and I am sitting here in America with tears running down my cheeks. I am so grateful to have the privilege to have been born and lived through the reign of Judith Durham. One must travel far and wide to find a voice like hers, anywhere. Miss Durham, you were my Queen. RIP.
As a Yankee Doodle American patriot, I must tell you Aussies that you have always gripped my heart with great love and deepest and most profound respect. Y'all wrote the book on heart, bravery and grit.
Two of the dearest people in my life are a Melborne sweetie in the '80's and my best mate in Iraq in 2005.
Y'all are the best and I love every man-jack of you! Thanks for being our loyal friends even when we sometimes don't deserve it.
Mate our governments Australian or American may not always deserve the support of each other's people, but the PEOPLE do! I think the people of Australia and the USA will always stand together. Also yes this is an amazing song, Judith's voice is the best, may she rest in peace 🙏
@@R1981L I think Australia and America share a similar heritage. A hodgepodge of people living where many chips of colonial history fell.
Kia ora,
Your comment, humility and loyalty touch my heart.
As a Kiwi, I feel a great love for Americans.
I love your friendly people.
Our history counts for a lot.
1918. Thankyou to your keen, brave, committed boys. We don't forget.
And WW11. I never forget. Your airpilots, soldiers & marines.
To the liberators of the camps they found in 1945. My gratitude is deep.
Your comment, Bro is very beautiful. Don't forget your country is great and our men often fought for the same cause.
Cheers, e hoa.
Thanks dear American friend I haven't met, I love you guys. Your comment brought me to tears💞😊🙏👍
Your welcome mate
I am an American and today was the first time I've ever heard this beautiful song. It made me cry for the good people of the world. Always loved the Seekers since "Another You" back in the 60s. Eternally grateful for them and for Australia. Thank you.
I'm a Chinese Australian and this song is amazing this should be the national anthem without doubt. When I hear this it brings a tear and I bet I'm not the only one.
I totally agree, this SHOULD be our National Anthem. We are ALL Australian and proud of it and the words sum this up to perfection. Magnificent! Always leaves a lump in my throat - I love my country so much and this is exactly how I feel about it. Thank SO much Bruce Woodley and The Seekers.
Hear hear. I couldn't agree more. How do we get a referendum to change our current dreary national anthem to something this beautiful?
I’d do anything to make this our anthem!
Judith Durham is a truly remarkable woman. He voice is as beautiful and clear today, as it was all those years ago.
YES IT SURE IS, A GIFT!
Norman you are 100% right, listening to her voice in the 60s and now its still sounds the same, how can 84 people dislike this ?
@@davidsenior6005 Because they're are pleb bastards who have no taste in music.
She sounds even better than ever. Amazingly kind and beautiful woman!
Amen to that.
I'm not even Australian and this song moves me.
i am swiss, but this song is touching my soul
You don't have to be Australian to `get' this song. It emulates what (almost) everyone on earth wants life to be, in whatever land you live.
I’m here on August 6th, a day after the beautiful and talented Judith left us, and as I listen to this, tears flow down my cheeks. Rest in peace ❤️
Just want to send my condolences to all my Aussie Mates from this American Yank on the passing of Judith Durham.. Truly an angelic voice. She'll be a great addition to the heavenly choir. I'm so grateful for her beautiful songs. May God rest her soul!
Thank you from this Aussie. Judith had a voice of gold. And this song should be our national anthem. To me there were two great female singers. Judith Durham and Karen Carpenter. Both had unique voices, just beautiful to listen to.
@@lilyfromBrissy Agreed. Both had unique voices.
With lovefrom uk . Grateful thanks for the gift of the seekers and judiths voice
God bless Australia and all Australians, from the U.S.
Patricia Garrett ,,,ozzie here Patricia, thank you for the blessings au/us
Thank you.
He gave us Judith, his most stunning angel, that's enough!
Hello Patricia, it's nice meeting you hear. How are you doing?
I grew up with them, I am 73 and our times are ending, carry the dream on children!
They are and still are absolutely amazing.. They are simply the best... God bless them.
I feel the same , I also grew up listening to them and it saddens me to see how they have aged , which also means I have too , where have the years gone ? I just consider myself fortunate to have lived during the best era of music . ' Love you Seekers , forever .
@@waldoparsnip1025 I'm glad someone else had the same thoughts - we've aged, and that is the end of that!
@@alwellus But weren't we so lucky to have had them in our youth and our life ? I'm 67 , so I was a young teen in the mid 60's , great , innocent times .
@@waldoparsnip1025 You got that right! The '60's were a DAMN good time to a kid! I'm 63, and don't remember all that much of the turmoil of the late '60's with the Nam War and the use of drugs and such - my parents kept me in a cocoon that revolved around school, church and an a tight knit upper class circle. The worse thing about being a kid then was getting your tail torn into by a parent or someone at school. Life was simpler then, and had FAR fewer cares and worries. I'd go back to that time in a heartbeat, but time is a one way street. Thanks for your comments - nice to chat with you - wherever you are!
Im from Denmark, but eveytime i hear this, tears run from my eyes
I am an American. We have Dolly Parton and you Aussies had Judith. You should be proud of your national treasure
Wonderful group and song. There will never be another voice like Judith Durhams. 3 July 1943 - 5 August 2022
I was born a week before Judith June 26, 1943 she July 3, 1943. RIP
🙏👼
❤️❤️🏴🏴
Surely the finest female voice ever , Judith Durham take a bow absolutely fantastic, I’m a proud Scotsman but that song should be Australia’s national anthem ,it stirs me every time I hear it !!
Duncan Ogilvie ..you have never sad a truer word my friend.
Duncan Ogilvie I too have a great love of Judith Durham's voice but the thing about the Seekers is that the sum of the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. They are all great musicians and their greatness lies in their respect for one another and it shines in their performance.
You know what ? I agree .
Holy Mother of Music. I started by finding and playing 'Georgie Girl'. Three hours later l find this. What a beautiful Australian anthem.
I'm not from Australian BUT the people of Australia can be so proud in having a group as the Seekers from their country. Hair stood up behind my neck, thought gee how proud and privileged the Australians are.
Beautiful
Every time I hear this woman's voice, I get shivers down my spine. What a singer.
Oh yeah ... no female voice, absolutely NO female, past, present ... can come within a country mile of Judith's
Sadly Judith Durham passed away today.
This lady has probably the best female voice I have ever heard in MY ENTIRE LIFE. The adjective DIVINE comes to mind.
The high note Judith Durham reaches near the end of their 1966 rendition of *'When The Stars Begin To Fall'* has always had me spellbound. She's Good.
God bless for them.
Judith's voice is amazing.
Yes she has a divine voice, so much courage, in her life. I pray for them
I would never describe myself as a religious person but the voice of Judith Durham is so beautiful and her talent for singing so wonderful she also seems to me to be DIVINE!.
Just heard about Judith. God be with her. The Aussies and Americans have much in common in their history. I tear up every time I hear this. Each time I hear this I am staggered by the unchanged voice of Judith Durham. If you go back to the mid 1960s, and then 2014 when this concert was done, her voice is still as clear and strong as a bell.
Agree. Same history n fought side by side practically in all wars. Yes am proud to be an Australian three or more generations. Thanks for your lovely comment.
We all know Judith voice was perfection but I never realised how good Bruce’s voice is
The Seekers were a fabulous band, not just Judith with her angelic voice and sweet smile. This band as a whole put Australia on the musical map. I agree that this song would make a great national anthem. No one likes Advance Australia Fair - it's dreary.
All were good and Australian .
I am an oldie (born in 1955 and probably became a pop/rock music fan about 5 minutes after birth). I remember hearing the Seekers as a 10-year-old and I agree with you - Judith had the voice of an angel but Bruce and Keith were pretty good musicians as well. The Seekers put Australia on the pop music map back when the UK was the pop/rock music capital of the world. I vote for this one as Australia's National Anthem. Just a shame beautiful Judith is no longer with us.
He has perfect singing voice.
My girlfriend is Australian and she told me about this song and about her Australia. I fell in love with her and with this song. I’m Italian and I’ve never been to Australia but this song touches my heart.
A chi aspetti vieni ,fatti sta camminata.the song captures the feeling of all Australians.
I was down in the Republic of Vietnam in Indian country flying in a USA OH 6A helicopter in 1968. We called for a rescue. Who shows up? Australians! I'm forever grateful to the Australian people. Thank you. I now have children and grandchildren. I got to visit Sidney, Australia in 1969. I flew across the continent of Australia twice. The continent is awesome.
Bless you mate!

Has there ever been a sweeter, clearer voice than Judith Durham's absolutely amazing, and she can still hit it out of the park.

@@Galaxy-ho2pk ' during her later years she use to let her voice box rest and not speak for three weeks at a time. She did that for years
@@davethompson8283 I am 68 and have just been diagnosed with COPD. What is really pissing me off is the docs telling me that I could have another 10 years with no treatment necessary. What, another 10 years of only being able to walk for 5 minutes without needing to sit down due to breathlessness? Really? I quit smoking years ago. Meanwhile, I have arthritis, 24/7 tinnitus and a knackered thyroid. I live in Australia and our GP service is pretty bloody good. Except the docs still pretend that panadol actually works. It doesn't. Everyone knows panadol doesn't work.
Our national anthem that never was...
Brought tears in my eyes!
But will be one day soon.

It can't be our anthem, because it does not contain the word "Girt"

Marty theMartian e
Could still yet become our anthem
I heard this by the seekers first time just now. As someone who is passionate about all of us being a unified community rather than the division pushed by the politicians who only serve their own agendas, this song says it all. Brought me to tears that the message could be delivered in such a beautiful song. RIP Ms Durham. 🙏 😇😇

I am English, and this song is a thing of beauty. It should be your national anthem it covers your history and the beauty of your land. Be proud of who you are because in this world now to love your country is seen as a crime and it is not. Best wishes to all you Aussies from Yorkshire.
Happy Australia Day to you. My name is Eric, I’m from New York, I believe in true friendship and I like trying new things and believe in the good things of life. ☺️
I came across your comment and I think you are of a nice personality and I love Australia too❤🥺. I will like us to be friends now or someday and get to talk if you have time so I can know you better, the pleasure is all mine. Thank you🙌.
I’m not Australian, but listening to this song makes me a little emotional. Beautiful song, harmony is wonderful, and then there’s Judith with her angelic voice. Even in her later years, no one...not any of these so called girl singers can even come within a hundred miles of her voice and talent. I’ve been a fan for many many years. God bless the Seekers.
You're right ,it's hard to get any better than Judith Durham, great voice ,delivered to perfection.You can't have a voice like that and not have the heart and soul that matches it.I don't see any women like her in my travels.Where are they hiding from us !!??Any Why!?
David, there is no female singer past or present that comes vaguely close to Judith Durham's voice. So called stars like the one that dumped Glenn Wheatley from being her manager after he got her famous should eat humble pie after they listen to Judith Durham's voice as she can actually sing ! Unlike a certain American singer who squeals in one of her famous "songs"

En dan toch nog zo'n show neerzetten
Well done Judith we mis you
Wist niet dat ze overleden was… Of het is me ontschoten… Maar ze mag zeker rusten in vrede.😢
Judith's voice had the power to uplift the spirit like no other. Fly free 🙏
Although l adore this song and all it represents , l see a problem in what to play at ceremonial occasions ....it should ABSOLUTELY be our National Song !! And one of the Seeker boys wrote it !!! 🙂 These verses cover our whole history , unlike Advance Australia ....How clever of the ABC to be playing it for its 90th birthday celebration ...well done lta and other decision makers 😘 ....Vale Judith ❤️
This song makes me wish I was Australian. The Seekers are a national treasure for Australia.
TRUE BLUE !
This song makes glad I’m not Australian.
As a Canadian, I've always thought the Aussie's and Canadian's were brothers from the same mother. One conquered a vast country of heat and dust, the other an equally vast country of cold and snow. But how I wish we had a spirit and song like this one. Good on ya!
I've lived with a couple canucks here... I feel the same
I am from the United States. We love Australia and Canada. They are wonderful places.
Holdfast1812 IM Aussie and sorry but its us and New Zeland...
G'day, Holdfast1812, older cousin. You are dead right, you and our other older cousin, your southern neighbour, are part of the family, almost literally, my sister in law married a Canadian and live in Tranno.
Probably don't follow this comment anymore, but you do have one that I found out recently. Northwest Passage is amazing.
If a foreigner wants to know what Australians see as being important and valuable about their culture and themselves, they can listen carefully to each of the verses of that song. Each verse expresses a founding myth that Australians cherish at a spiritual level. The way that the chorus then draws on those founding myths to celebrate Australia's inclusiveness, equality and hopefulness for the future is enough to make the hardest Australian get a tear in the eye
Very well said my friend, as a pom.
Brilliant!
As a kiwi who has traveled far and wide, Australians are the best people..our family...l love you.
As an Aussie who spent 5 years on a gap year working and travelling it was always great running into Kiwis. Just like family. Even if we wouldn't grab beers Aussies and Kiwis always ask "you right"? Any far flung corner of the world and we check on each other.
We are all ONE ANZAC n always will be.
Judith's voice is unique----clear as crystal-so blessed to have a voice like that. And the others in the group give depth, and blend in wonderful harmony.
This lady had a beautiful voice when i first heard her back in 1960s, and sixty years later nothing has changed. God bless you Judith and thank you for the music 💔
Hello Wendy, how are you doing?
This should be rereleased and heavily promoted to rouse the Australian people from their apathy and inspire them to reconnect with their powerful, enduring past - a truly beautiful song ❤️👍🏻🌟
Absolutely. What a beautiful breathtaking song. Touches my heart and soul every time. This is our Australia. We need to stand up and take her back.
That is EXACTLY what has happened! See this video from 2 days ago - Aussies have taken their city of Melbourne back!

Exelente.mucica.Australian...The.Seekers.Judith.Durham...
100% our new Australian anthem , this garbage attack on the Australian people over the last two years has set that in stone 🌞🇦🇺🌞
I just told my Aussie hubby exactly the same it should be play more to teach new generations about their own history
Bruce's voice is even better with age. He sounds as smooth as silk.
This song gives me goosebumps. I'm so proud to be Australian.. Judith .just beautiful. x x
I’m an American but I’ve never heard this song before and it brings me to tears
I wish I was healthy enough to visit Australia before my time has come on this earth. This song I will remember as long as I live. Thank You Aussies !
judith durham voice was so powerful. unchanged over the years. RIP Judith
Hello beautiful how are you doing?
I am not Australian but during this sing I am 100 percent Australian. I never tire of listening to this song.
As a 74yo yank, I have heard these voices for years, but I have never heard this song before. So beautiful, so moving, so poignant.
While The Seekers may have aged, they are still timeless.
@@bruceanglais7584 yeah. Everyone but Athlon has hair left!
She is a tie with Karen Carpenter for sure !
Nobody will ever sing this song better than these guys. Just brilliant!
Bruce Woodley wrote it..
He did co write it with Dobe Newton from the bushwhackers
As the world mourns Judith, I thank her & the Seekers for their music which is our national treasure as are The Seekers. What a magical voice she had which I had the pleasure of growing up with being a child of the 60's. Judith was able to sing impromptu & perfect, every time, time after time. Our wonderful Australian songbird, rest peacefully beautiful soul. I hope you know how much you were truly loved by so, so many 💕💕💕
I haven't heard from them for many years but this brought tears to my eyes. Currently, I'm 66 years old , English, and so pleased to hear their talent again. Beautiful
Being of Vietnamese heritage and living as a Australian, This song touches the heart strings every time. It has greater meaning than our Australian Anthem itself. As a refugee, we found salvation in Australia and a Future for our generations present and more to come. I wake up each morning humbled Knowing that I have woken up being Australian and be forever grateful. One day, my children to be, will be reminded of the gravity of why.... ....
Nice post Sean. I like to joke that I was a refugee from Thatcher's Britain back in 1988. My Aussie-born son's gap year included trips to Vietnam and Cambodia. He understands the history but said he absolutely loved both countries and the people.
Welcome.
As a 'new' immigrant (2008) from the Nordics, I'm as proud of the Aussie values as any other Aussie - new (200 years) or old (40,000 years) to now be part of this GR8 nation! I love you all - old, new, present, and future Aussies 🙂. I LOVE THIS SONG! / Doc Lars from Sweden
Thank you.
One day this song will play it's part in healing this great land for ALL our people and it will take it's rightful place as our national anthem.
Healing?
Best see a doctor
This really should be our anthem !! Vale Judith let's do this for her and all Australians
Agreed 💯
no
@@davidlee-michaels9430 why?
The Seekers have always been and will always be one of the best entertainers to come from Australia.
Truly a wonderful Australian anthem. Adding the beautiful and original voice of Judith Durham makes this all time moving song so very special to all who are lucky enough to be Australian.
To have been born in Australia is to have won the jackpot.
We are going to greatly miss this beautiful person and voice. She is purely Australian and a gift to the world. RIP Judith.
I am Scots born, but have found this lovely song. God bless you in Australia . 💘
Hi Carolyn I am Aussie True Blue :: My family tree goes back to Scotland & into Scandinavia RIP Judith all the best Scottish Lady
You Aussies are shouting about how great it is to be Aussie then you talk endlessly about how mongrel you.
Very lovely song, how was your day going Carolyn?
I am from the United States, and this song touches my heart in so many ways. Bless them all.
Her amazing voice never deteriorated. So gutted. A very long time ago when I was still only a child / teenager, I never even realised The Seekers were from another country and just loved them (I'm in the UK). R.I.P dear Judith.
I am italian, but j love beautiful Your Great nation and Your Great People. It's pure True. Thank you for this beautiful Song and in primis judith forever.
I am 69 years old and have many great memories of the seekers , god bless them and god bless Australia
I'm far away in Phoenix, Arizona, and my heart hurts for Australia; for the people and the wildlife. You are a strong nation and you will rise again out of the ashes with renewed strength and beauty. God be with you all.
We are tough and rugged just like Arizona. We will get through this thank you.
Hi Terri. I,m from Melbourne, I just read your comments. I have a daughter who is a volunteer in the Country Fire Authority, she was on standby with a strike team, thank goodness she wasn’t needed. Australia is great country, just like the USA, I would to thank your country for sending your fire fighters over to Australia to help out. Sadly 3 of them lost their lives, our thoughts and prayers with those heroes and their family and friends. Have a look at some of the other songs of the Seekers, they are wonderful group, with some wonderful music to listen to. From George in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. God Bless. 🇦🇺🇺🇸
Hello beautiful how are you doing?
I am 5th generation indigenous Australian and i love this song we are all Australians . Luv it to bits i seen the Seekers i think 1963 in Hobart absolutely fantastic been in Adelaide foe 52 years but .yes i am Australian 🇦🇺🇦🇺

Amen to that mate. I may not be able to fight alongside them but I will keep their spirits high through music.
I'm American, but my thoughts and prayers are with you all in the Land Down Under. You will prevail.
Thinking of you all at this time , from Cornwall ,England - God bless you all
My god what an amazing song. Truly defines Love of country! I am a yank and I am crying with love and joy!
This is my first time hearing the entire song. It is absolutely beautiful. Rip Judith
Rest in Peace Judith! Your beautiful voice will live on in the hearts of Australians and many others around the world.
You do not have to be from Australia to love this song and performance by the Seekers. I have loved the group since the 1960's. Despite the 50 years, they haven't missed a beat, and Judith Durham is terrific.
And they're voices haven't changed at all
I am American. I love this song and think of it as "Australia the Beautiful" in its sweeping view of history as well as natural grandeur. Well done, both in composition and performance!
I'm with you.
My sentiments exactly!
You are right, how was your day going ❤️❤️
Thank you from Canada for your great harmony Seekers. We'll never find another (group quite like) You!!
I don't need words. This song says it all.
Makes me cry. Thanks for sticking around Judith ,as the boyo's are lost Wi'out ya sheila !
I'm British and honestly this song makes me feel warm, God bless Australia and the commonwealth
No, just bless Australia keep your commonwealth.
