RIP Brods. So many great songs that recall a period when Australians not only made things but were proud of who we were warts and all. And even more, a great time for Aussie musicians before we became bland
Can you believe 6,000 views & not one bloody comment Are they all deaf & dumb or just don't like good music Broderick is world class & should be much more appreciated WELL DONE
Heard this song on radio last night (haven't heard it for years) couldn't wait to get up this morning and listen to it again with kids, it's great being an Australian!!!
heard this song when i was a kid and thought it was awesome. Its up there with the songs that little heroes released. These songs will only be remembered by us old buggers but if it doesn't give you a good feeling to be an aussie, i don't know what would.
Loved this song when I was a Kid, in 1981 I was 12. Remembering seeing it on countdown. This isa great song, gets to the heart of it, stirs up the emotion in me, one of the most patriotic songs Australia has. Broderick Smith thank you for one of the greatest songs about our wonderful country.
I remember watching Brod interviewed about this song in 1981. He said then that the chorus was at least partly ironic. He said "Lucky to be an Australian? Well, kind of lucky..."
Great song......it has got to be 35 years since I last heard it. Love the photos of the vessels, hoppers and pipe spools in the background. Sadly not to many fab shops left anymore.
