I find it so funny that at 8:41 and 12:25 in both the industrial and atomic eras when it becomes all grand and triumphant, it's the part of the song where the swagman kills himself.

Advance australia fair is pretty cringe compared to Waltzing Chadtilda. But I guess the powers that be would be pretty butthurt if we basically had a bushranger national anthem.
Most of us will claim it as the national anthem ourselves. It's only not official cause it's a bushranger song and the whole bushranger thing blatantly shows how corrupt the police here were. (And still are...)

That American is technically telling the truth. It is our unofficial national anthem, I wish it was our official but I guess no one wants to sing about a thief ending himself.
It's this song that brought me to Australia. I wanted to just see how this land looks like and leave. But then I've met a native girl called Caitlin whom I want to spend the rest of my life with, and now I want to stay here.

Feel like this is a tribute to the once great Nation of the Commonwealth Of Australia how its changed for the worse yet the e motions I feel growing up in Australia and what It gave me from 80/90/00s Im grateful I hate how it is now politically once a free country...
I love that the industrial theme gets more epic at the saddest part in the song. It feels super patriotic

A tribute to the dead Emu’s who fought for their independence and won!
They fought like warrior parrots
They fought like Emus
And won their freedom

This track got more history in it than the entirety of Australia. Them aboriginals really didnt produce much. 😊

I am an American but this song makes me think of Australia in my minds eye. Wish it was your national anthem!
I am usually quite delighted to have Australia spawn as neighbors in games as they tend to be pretty friendly.
Oh and the music's good too.
I also like getting Maori, Canada, or Sumeria as neighbors, as well as Australia of course
John Curtin! I speak for the people of Australia as their Prime Minister. We seek sympathetic allies in the fight against the hawks of war!

This is so merry and hopeful yet so nostalgic...
I will stop at nothing to become a representative for Guinness World Records so I can include this as the best bush ballad.
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong,
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled,
"You'll come a Waltzing Matilda, with me."
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
"You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me,"
He sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled,
"You'll come a Waltzing Matilda, with me"
Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong,
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee,
And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
"You'll come a Waltzing Matilda, with me,"
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
"You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me,"
And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
"You'll come a Waltzing Matilda, with me,"
Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred,
Up rode the troopers, one, two, three,
"With that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?"
"You'll come a Waltzing Matilda, with me,"
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
"You'll come a Waltzing Matilda, with me"
"With that jolly jumbuck you've got in you tucker bag?"
"You'll come a Waltzing Matilda, with me,"
Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong,
"You'll never take me alive," said he,
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
"You'll come a Waltzing Matilda, with me"
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
"You'll come a Waltzing Matilda, with me,"
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
"You'll come a Waltzing Matilda, with me,"
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
"You'll come a Waltzing Matilda, with me,"
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
"You'll come a Waltzing Matilda, with me."

I still get goosebumps listening to Civ 6's civ themes. Especially Australia. I love this game 🤩
Whenever I put the industrial version on my surround sound my roommate doesn’t even get made that I wake him up at 4:30 AM.

one of the first songs I learned on Guitar. The story behind it gives the words so much meaning on every level.
Happy Australia Day!
both this and John Williamsons rendition of this brings tears to my eyes
And slim dustey
It's like "welcome home!" to long gone fellow from a long journey.
once you go symphonic, you can never go back....
That 3D rendition of John Curtin always reminded me of a mix of Robin Williams and Bill Maher for some reason xD
I can totally see it.
Such a great piece.
Your mother is a piece and a half too, Ryan. Lol jk

To think that the Australian people waged war against Emus of all things. Let alone the war resulting in a standstill between the two. 😂

Excellent prison theme.
