Having travelled all over Australia I have chosen footage from all these driving tours to best suit the words and feelings of this classic Icehouse anthem.
Yes you’re right we are all blessed to live in this country and I’m very proud to a 5th generation Australian on my mother’s side and a daughter of an immigrant on my father’s side that’s what are Australians are a bit of this and a bit of that !!!!❤️🇦🇺
A song about 'a Prisoner Island hidden in the summer for a million years?' My respects to you as it is indeed an inspirational tune. But as with other catchy rifts or harmoneys the lyrics are not representative of the Nation or of the people. You may as well have 'Midnight Oil's -'Beds are Burning' or some ACDC song as your National Anthem as they too are are very catchy.
@@MikeGreenwood51 Prisoner island is in my interpretation is not just about the convict era. If you look at the geology it is a sort of prison, but one that preserves. Not only in terms of ancient culture, but also many ancient life forms elder to the Earth. 100% appropriate second anthem and lyrics if you ask me.
You don't walk alone in the great Southern land The ancestors speak You can't escape the message Will Haunt you in the winds You never walk alone ... The land holds your hand...
An wonderful land, ancient and diverse with an incredible indigenous people who have lived here for over 50,000 years and have knowledge beyond our understanding. Let's keep working together to learn more and prosper.
Man what a great band and song this is! I still have some of their early music! Very underrated band in my opinion! I would love to visit Australia some day! What a beautiful place! 👌😎👍
Thanks for your comment. Check out some of my other journeys around this great country. There are five other journeys in my playlists and all are put to appropriate music.
4:25 Just for those interested in knowing, that building is Redruth Jail in Burra, Sth Australia (a small township in the Barossa Valley north of Adelaide) and it was the filming location for the 1980s film called BREAKER MORANT with Bryan Brown.
Yes Carlos, it is a great place with plenty of room to move. You might visit one day. I'm pleased the video made you interested. There are plenty other videos of this great country.
Thank you johno for your kind comments. Yes, it is a great country with contrasting scenery. If you haven’t already done it, look at my playlists as these cover 5 epic journeys under the title GSL1 - 5 which highlight more of this great country.
This is beautiful!!! My compliments to all who worked on putting this video out there!!! It rocks!!!🤘🤙👍 Also a shout out to the Icehouse band for a great song!!! I'm seriously considering relocating here from the United States!!! I'm sick of all the propaganda,politics and most of all, American Men!!!!🤔🤫🤨😐😬🤢🤮
Thanks for your kind comments Karen. THis is the overall feeling of all my trips around Australia. There are 6 trips some bigger than others and I have tried to match music which best suits the videos. When I did this one, I took video from all these trips (GSL 1-6) and tried to match the lyrics. Yes, this is a great country still and I'm sure you would be welcome. GK
So basically none of us here in America would touch you with a ten foot pole so now you're going to subject some poor Aussie men to your bad attitude and even worse looks?
heard no promises in a pub on their inhouse radio - went home had to google it and was gobsmacked as i'd forgotten just how good and famous they were - every song is a classic
Thanks Deborah. I try to tell a story in all my videos with the choice of song trying to match the video I have. I found that footage at ther Back o'Bourke museum on one of my journeys around Oz
Although the footage pivots from east to west (I think) what is understated in this excellent video from Icehouse is country. We live in a diverse, wonderful, amazing, giving land. Love her.
Thanks Jody-Anne for your comments. When I did this video, I took footage from all 5 of my journeys around and through Australia. Every state except Tasmania is represented here with a leaning to the outback and northern parts of this amazing country. I agree entirely with your comments. You might like to go through my other journeys with my Playlists.
Brilliant job at matching up the lyrics and the images. You and the song captured all that is so haunting about our southern land. Such a huge amount of history and ghosts. Thank you .
Thank you Annette, it was a pleasure putting it together. I have done 5 major trips around Oz and these are covered in my Playlists. Some good others ok but they highlight this country and good music.
Thanks for your comment. It is a great song and a great country to match. I’m pleased you liked my treatment. For more Australia and music, check my other Playlists.
In Sydney they make more of a fuss celebrstion for Chinese new year compared tp Australia day. That is so sad. Having lived in another country for a bit it seems so sad that you travel to another country just to not embrace that place.
@@kripaharris237 whos tobsay there wasnt people there before the ancient people. So why do only one set of people get to live in one place forever. Shouldnt we just accept and invite people everywhere without restrictions. God gave us this earth to share
Hey mate - quick question :) Did you cop any hassles with the music? I want to do a review of something I've created and want to use that song in the background :) Thanks. Cheers, Stephen.
Only really on the east coast. I've lived in SA for 7 years after living the first 31 years of my life in my hometown of Sydney and never seen spiders like that in SA.
Australia 🇦🇺 the best to live on earth. Once you live here then you can’t live anywhere else. And that’s coming from an immigrant. Blessed to be here.
Yes you’re right we are all blessed to live in this country and I’m very proud to a 5th generation Australian on my mother’s side and a daughter of an immigrant on my father’s side that’s what are Australians are a bit of this and a bit of that !!!!❤️🇦🇺
Get ya citizenship & come & go as ya please & live back & when the shit goes down Australia Government rescuers ya mungels...
100%
Am a ' Fair dinkum Aussie' This woderful music always gives me goose bumps. Should be our National Anthem !! Greetings Oz !!💯👍🦘🌏

Arrived here as a young Pome in the late 80's, this song always reminds me of my first solo walks in the bush. Goosebumps indeed. 👍
One of my favourite songs from the other side of the world. July'24. UK. E ❤
You don't walk alone in the great Southern land
The ancestors speak
You can't escape the message
Will Haunt you in the winds
You never walk alone ...
The land holds your hand...
Makes us proud to be Australian and to live and prosper in this ancient land that time forgot. Thanks GK
Time did not forget indigenous people lived there.
Here we go.. yes/No/Yes/No/Yes It's a great song, lighten up.@@joemulgrew
Australian living in Europe. Sometimes I just cry wanting to be back home. The culture, the land there is nothing like it.
Remember hearing this on Bondi beach in Australia amazing memory 🇦🇺
An wonderful land, ancient and diverse with an incredible indigenous people who have lived here for over 50,000 years and have knowledge beyond our understanding. Let's keep working together to learn more and prosper.
Still one of my favourite songs… even after 40+ years since its release! ❤ Completely epitomises Australia. 🇦🇺
My glorious country...love it so much.
The other Australian anthem.
No doubt
RIP Warnie, love from NZ.
You have done very well, cheers
best place Australia love it Aussie Aussie
Great Men Thinks Great and even Dream great too.
Love and Respect from Calcutta,India.

@@gulliverk9165 i sure will 👍thanks
Yes totally underrated! Iva Davies is so talented. I was lucky to see them in concert just a few weeks ago. His voice reminds me of Bowie at times.
Watching this makes me want to travel around Australia now.
Am just back from circumnavigating Oz by water....35 days. Saw towns I'd never before seen. Great experience.

I am a kiwi but have loved my travel and times in Australia
Australia place I like to live
Yes Carlos, it is a great place with plenty of room to move. You might visit one day. I'm pleased the video made you interested.
There are plenty other videos of this great country.
CC , that can be your nickname if you move here
Ilove Icehouse
Now that is how you do an Australian travelogue with the perfect backing song.. Awesome work mate.
Great song and cracking video Gulliver! As an Aussie living here in the UK, it certainly made me homesick!
Thank you johno for your kind comments. Yes, it is a great country with contrasting scenery. If you haven’t already done it, look at my playlists as these cover 5 epic journeys under the title GSL1 - 5 which highlight more of this great country.

Prepare for everything to cost about twice of what you are used to and don't get trapped in the cities you will probably be disappointed, good luck👍

Where there’s is Murdoch there will always be propaganda and politics…it’s even worse here in Oz…2 years on from your comment…
2022 love icehouse played record as teen about million times was hooked on it

I love that this song is shown/taught to students studying English as a second language at some universities in Australia 🇦🇺
Cheers from Canada l*l
This melody has a incredible vibe
I used to play this every day when I went into work best song on my bosses ipod 😁😁🇭🇲
Great song and video good too. I like how you began with the old film.
Thanks Deborah. I try to tell a story in all my videos with the choice of song trying to match the video I have. I found that footage at ther Back o'Bourke museum on one of my journeys around Oz

God damn this song is absolutely timeless!

Like you I have travelled extensively throughout Australia. A lot of this clip brings back memories.
Very evocative - and it goes well beyond Australia - take care of our very fragile earth: thanks
Brilliant job at matching up the lyrics and the images. You and the song captured all that is so haunting about our southern land. Such a huge amount of history and ghosts. Thank you .
Great music and great video...you have done very well...
Thanks Mark. We have been lucky to drive all around Oz and every trip gives us something new. All my videos attempt to capture this beauty.

Thanks Gulliver K
Thank you for your comments - I enjoy do these and people enjoy seeing them.

That is so sad.
Having lived in another country for a bit it seems so sad that you travel to another country just to not embrace that place.
Australia day is controversial as it celebrates the date when British invaded and took the land from it's ancient custodians.

What nonsense
Be great as the anthem .
Lord protect this wonerful land from the mad politicians trying to kill it .
Great song and video
But
Some living aboriginal people would have been good
I think we left some alive ....
The discreet bike untypically crawl because william definitely add mid a magnificent direction. mysterious, nostalgic door
very poor video..........great song though.
Great song, always was.........but this video, very poor.
I sorry you don't like it. do you have any we can all look at?
