Hugh Jackman was in it because he played Peter Allen, the singer/songwriter of I STILL CALL AUSTRALIA HOME in the Broadway musical THE BOY FROM OZ. Peter went to America early in his career and married Liza Minnelli (Judy Garland's daughter) in Hollywood. He wrote songs that made Olivia Newton John famous like I HONESTLY LOVE YOU. Anyway, the whole thing was an advert for Qantas and they have used that song on many many occasions for their productions of commercials for their brand. If you looked on YT you would find other versions from different years.
It is an anthem. Qantas has use Peter Allen’s song I Still Call Australia Home for 30years just about. he wrote and performed it in 1980 its a song that we hold dear to our hearts and we always tear up when we hear it especially when they played it on a Qantas plane coming back from overseas. So proud to be an Aussie.. 😊🥰🇦🇺
This commercial features several well known Aussies. Entertainers, sports people, olympians etc. Yes Hugh Jackman is an Aussie. We have several pink lakes in Australia. The pink comes from a particular rare type of algae. Is safe to swim in. This song has been used in Qantas ads for many years. It’s constantly being updated but the song remains the same Written by Aussie entertainer Peter Allen. RIP If you are a true Aussie, it will always bring a tear to your eye.
I will always get the goose bumps when I hear this.. I have never been out of Australia 🇦🇺 no need to we have so much to see here. Thank you CV for showing this 🥰👍
You and me both! Aileen I'm telling you I'm adiated to some Australian stuff and i said to my mom ok mate and mom looked at me crazy haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The phone call was between tennis champ Ash Barty and her family. I forgot to mention that the rock is a deeply sacred indigenous place. It is known by its indigenous name of Uluru (its previous European name was Ayer’s Rock). It is in the Northern Territory.
Longreach is the town where QANTAS started their airline operations. QANTAS is Australia's leading airline and the name means Queensland And Northern Territory Air Service!!
It is Queensland And Northern Territory Aerial Services. My sisters godmother was a contestant on BP PickABox with Bob and Dolly Dyer in the early 1960's and did really well winning over 100 POUNDS...pre 1966. This was the question that knocked her out and that is why I always remembered it.
QANTAS was very clever using the late, great Peter Allen’s iconic song for their commercial. It’s an Aussie anthem and it really sums up how we Aussies feel when we travel around the world. No matter where we go, and how long we’re away, we always look forward to coming home. And yes we do have pink lakes.🥰
Every time I hear this I get teary and get filled with pride to call Australia home. I remember the first time I heard this song, performed by Peter Allen, it was amazing. This has been used by Qantas for many years and even played on a flight home to Australia. Very magical💖
G’day swan lover.. it’s a song written by the late great Peter Allen. He was so great he had his own Broadway musical about his life “The Boy from Oz” starring Hugh Jackman as Peter Allen. This is a reworked version of the song for a Qantas ad.. Qantas always use this song and they also play it when you’re flying into Australia it’s very emotional.
There goes' the Dr miss swan in the house haaa. Doc I do like the swan i need to build that relationship with the swan to see if the love is there but I'm open to the sawn. Thanks for all those info like always.
I sometimes forget how beautiful and how special it is that I live in such an amazing country like Australia. You don’t have to travel the world to see beauty, cause beauty can be just outside you very door
When you come home with QANTAS from another country, they play this song as you disembark and make you way to get collect your bags. It gives me Goosebumps every time I hear it.
That pink water is the pink lakes. The colour comes from algae that grows in the water. Very cool. Theres a lot going on in this advert that only Aussies would get , but you started to pick up on it .
When this ad was created a few months ago, it was to celebrate our national airline bringing international travellers back to Australia and vice versa after the covid pandemic. Yes Hugh Jackman is an Aussie. 👍🤗
There is a strain of algae called Dunalilla salina, that lives in some salt Australian lakes, when sunlight hits it, it produces a chemical called carotene which gives off a red/pink colour. Perfectly harmless and safe to swim in.
Thats not quite correct m8....we have an island just off the coast of Esperance WA, that's shut off from the public because the water is so acidic that your skin peels off within minutes, and the whole island is closed to the public. NOT ALL pink lakes are safe to swim in
Whilst a lake with a high acidity level might be harmful, Carotene does not peel the skin. Nor does it raise the acidity level of water. I did not say that every Lake with Carotene in it safe to swim in, I said the chemical that makes the water pink is safe to swim in. A crocodile in a Pink Lake would certainly make it unsafe. But the chemical it self that makes the water pink, actually helps maintain good skin health. And ingestion of carotene (which is in carrots btw) is good for blood pressure, brain, activity and joint and arthritic pain. Chlorine is safe to swim in. Unless there are a bunch of piranhas in your swimming pool.
@@kirk5152 Yes, I know all of that, which is correct, it's just that having lived in Esperance for many years (until disability got me and had to move up to Perth), the amount of tourists that hear "it's safe to swim in pink water, saw it on the Still call Australia home video", and don't know any different, are the ones who end up in the Espy hospital with burns. It's just a safer way to go to mention on social media that you must check with locals before jumping in, to save these things from happening; Its just the responsible thing to do m8 that's all
Our kids run around with either footballs or cricket balls n bats. We have much to be grateful for in Australia, and have some of the most beautiful landscapes you've ever seen....We have 3 large pink lakes like that one in Western Australia. The one of this ad is just outside of Kalbarri Western Australia, which is the pinkest one left now (we also have 2 pink lakes in Esperance, 1 at Pink Lake the suburb, and 1 on an island off Esperance). The water turns bright pink due to a bacteria that forms over millions of years, it's the heavy rainfall that dilutes the water, so some years the lakes are a lot pinker than others. The pink lakes are extremely high in salt, which can make them acidic, which is why you can fly over the one on the island off Esperance, but the island is closed to the public.....Yes, this is an advert for Qantas - they use the same song, and put new scenery pics every few years, my fav one was 1987, much more and nicer scenery used.
@@CVTECK1 Yes, we have a lot of different and very beautiful places here in Australia. You should go look at Coral Bay / Exmouth Western Australia, home of the Ningaloo Reef and swimming with the whale sharks and manta ray's. Karajini National Park. Lucky Bay / Hellfire Bay in Cape Le Grande, Esperance. You could look forever actually, and still not see everything here lol Im 57 and still haven't seen who whole state lol
You obviously missed the other celebs besides Wolverine. The lady on the phone talking to her kid was Ash Barty, our world number one tennis player. The multiple gold medal winning Campbell sisters swam in the pool. The guy standing next to the pool was Adam Goodes, one of the best ever AFL players. Kylie Minogue and Troye Sivan, who are huge celebs, sang. BTW, Longreach is the birthplace of QANTAS. And the song is by Aussie Peter Allen, and it's a real contender to replace our National Anthem along with "We are Australian", (the Seekers) "We come from the Land Downunder" (men at work) and "Great Southern Land" by Icehouse. Try checking them out.
hey Arch. I though that was Kylie Minogue but sometimes the video goes so fast and it's a lot to process. I watch the video for the first time and it's my real reaction and i will miss a lot because i get so into what I'm watching haaa. But good info Arch i don't know the first girl and the young guy. good info.
QANTAS have been using this song for years. Every one is more beautiful than the last. This one celebrates them flying again after Covid. Every adult including Hugh Jackman are famous Australians. The children are our National boys and girls choir. Australia always calls us home.
Getting famous Australians to appear in the commercial was great singer Kylie Minogue. Troy Sivane Hugh Jackman. Longreach is were Qantas was founded which is in Queensland. The water is a natural colour they have drained it and put other water there and it stays the same colour
I’m not Australian but I’ve lived here almost my whole life and I wouldn’t ask to be apart of any other nation SO PROUD to be Australian not by blood but pride 😤😤😤😤😤
Hello from Newcastle Australia 🇦🇺. Beautiful song, Written and beformed by Peter Allen ❤️. Classic Aussie tune to get every Aussie in the ❤️ and tear up❤.
That "Mountain" is Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, it's a large sandstone formation in the centre of Australia. The people in the ad are: Firsts Nations Elder- Rene Kulitja Kylie Minogue Troye Silvan Hugh Jackman The kids in the white shirts are the Australian Girls Choir and the National Boys Choir- QANTAS have used them in the ads since 1998 ish The schools kids in the maroon school uniforms are from the town of Longreach- where QANTAS was founded. The woman in the FILA was tennis player Ash Barty who recently retired The man on the edge of the pool is AFL legend Adam Goodes The two women swimming on the reef where Olympian Bronte Campbell and Para Olympian Ellie Cole The first nations dancers are the Bangarra Dance Theatre There is also the Gondwana Choir QANTAS have been using this song for 35 years.
Not a mountain mate, it's a monolith, the largest rock on the planet. It's traditional name is Uluru & what it's called now but back in the day it was known as Ayres Rock (pronounced airs). Also it's not an AFL ball, it's a Steedon & Rugby League play with a Steedon, AFL play with a Sherrin & Rugby Union play with a Gilbert. 3 totally different codes of footy
@@CVTECK1 yeah nah, all good mate! Just thought I'd give u a tad of info. Hope i don't come across rude or abrupt coz I'm sure u do want us helping u out with as much info as possible. We are always happy to help out & answer any questions u may have. Cheers mate!
This ad was especially poignant when our Covid closed International borders re-opened after vaccinations were introduced. Being so isolated from the World and our friends and families (even internally, State to State borders were closed) was hard. This song by Peter Allen has been around for decades, but Qantas adopted it for its ads and it is a recurring theme. Peter was a great friend of Judy Garland, and married to and divorced from her daughter, Liza Minnelli. He spent most of his professional career overseas, but wrote this song about where his heart remained. The “mountain” is actually a single rock and the pink lakes are at Hutt Lagoon in the State of Western Australia.
Oh wow i didn't think it was around that time Judi. That is something that would bring people together and now i understand the video even more now. the hugs in the air port and the phone calls. thanks for that info Judi!!!
This vid. Is an add for Quantas, please find a vid. of Peter Allen singing, you will be actually sopping. The white surface with the dancers is Lake Eyes a salt lake in the south. The rain falls in the north and takes 8/9 months to reach the lake.
There are over 10 pink lakes in Australia. They are salt lakes and are safe to swim in. The pink is caused by the pigment secreted by microscopic algae. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
They use the song for their add it the national airline but it is a song every Aussie knows it was made for them it was created by Peter Allan singer musician who was home sick after being oversea for years The lakes are pink due to high salt content and algie grows but not toxic you can swim in it If you want to see another song all Aussie relate to is great Southern land by the ice house is best older version it show landscapes of Australia 🇦🇺 If you want to listen to a song that every Aussie knows I AM AUSTRALIAN it's widely believed by most Aussies it should be our anthem As it tells the history on how Australia became multicultural and was formed good or bad Cheers mate most Aussie aware about other countries as taught at school in history when I was at school unsure if they do now
It used to be played when flying back to Oz, on a long haul Qantas flight, I don’t know whether it still is or not? Covid has had me grounded. We have a few unofficial national anthems this is one of them. ❤️🇦🇺
@@CVTECK1 It's long and some people don't 'get it' but Baz was trying to bring a bit of the old into this film so it is over dramatized in parts. You will see Hugh looking very like Clint Eastwood in a bar scene in the beginning.
The Pink lakes - scientists say it is a sort of algae I am pretty sure - not harmful - you can swim in it. The 'Mountain' is Uluru right in the centre of Australia - the rock and a spiritual place for the indigenous peoples
Just a little information on the mountain. It's actually a rock called Uluṟu (Ayer's Rock), it connects DEEEP underground all the way through and up again to the Kata Tjuta (Olgas). It's an absolute freak of nature that is 550 million years old. It is also the worlds largest Sandstone Monolith. It is the most beautiful and iconic landmark of Australia and thus why it's the premier shot of this video. It's beauty is almost unmatched. Keep up the work mate. The rest of the world needs to see more of Australia and it's beauty and grace. 🇦🇺(we really need a Aboriginal Flag emoji)🇺🇸
Just started watching your channel I'm Matt from Australia 🇦🇺 we are so lucky to have an extraordinary relationship with your country, you are amazing people and I love our country's. I have learnt a great deal about your country and I admire the perseverance and sacrifice for liberty and justice for all. God bless America.
Yeah we have natural pink lakes in Australia. Its caused by a specific algae . The international airline QUANTAS Is the safest airline in the world. Theyve never had a crash even though the black box was invented in Australia. Hope you're well mate😊 cheers
Yes - Not a bad commercial. Lots of Aussie 'stars' here. For example; long before Hugh Jackman was in Wolverine he was in Musical Theatre; acting and singing. The mountain you commented on is a stunning and unique Australian landmark. At 863 metres height this is Uluru; the world's second largest sandstone monolith (one large solid block of stone). Made even more dramatic by sitting on a completely flat desert plain. The largest is also an Australian; Mount Augustus in Western Australia. These are only around 550 million years old! Think about how sandstone is formed. Most of what is now inland Australia was once a vast inland sea. Called Ayers Rock by white settlers for around 200 years, it was formally returned to it's original First Peoples name in 1993. Uluru and nearby Kata Tjuta are sacred sites for the Aboriginal people, who are the longest continuous surviving human culture in the world and have inhabited Australia for at least 70,000 years. All Australian landscapes play an important role in their spiritual life, as they see themselves as very much part of the earth and visa versa. Australia's Pink Lakes are formed on ancient salt pans and their various colours depend on their salt concentration. This song was written by the great Aussie Singer/Song writer; Peter Allen. 😊👍
Your calling Uluru a mountain is a slight mistake as according to Goggle it is classed as a monolith (A large single block of stone) there are larger stones in the world but Uluru is one singular piece of sandstone rising to 850 meters above the ground but below ground extends another 2.5Km. The rock is sacred to the Aboriginal peoples and is a important part of their Dreamtime Legend's. The kids playing (probably on a cattle station in the Outback) are using a Rugby ball not a AFL ball. Longreach is where Qantas was founded in 1920. That this was a commercial for an airline having this effect makes it one of the best. As you said "We can fly everywhere but Australia's still home" not many countries have that grip on their peoples heart's.
Just an add to promote tourism to our country , that's Ayers Rock in the beginning of the video not a mountain lol very important to our indigenous people. 💕
Hahahaha yep a commercial, the song is by Peter Allen R.I.P. and Qantas has used it for decades and always very well done. Some big stars in the clip as well, you picked Hugh, but Kylie, Troy Sivan and Ash Barty also.
You know what I love?? Watching Americans (particularly). After Trump I was a little traumatised by how that could possibly happen! I feel like I’ve learned that Americans are trapped in a ridiculous brainwashed system, and most aren’t self involved…..just haven’t had the opportunity to learn! Simple posts like this! 🤘🏻
Well Fiona let's take the time and learn about each other you know. To be honest that's what I'm doing and it feels nice. I love the Australian country and people and I can also say I have few friends down there too. Hi Fiona my and is Jorge 😜

The lakes are pink due to high salt content and algie grows but not toxic you can swim in it
If you want to see another song all Aussie relate to is great Southern land by the ice house is best older version it show landscapes of Australia 🇦🇺
If you want to listen to a song that every Aussie knows I AM AUSTRALIAN it's widely believed by most Aussies it should be our anthem
As it tells the history on how Australia became multicultural and was formed good or bad
Cheers mate most Aussie aware about other countries as taught at school in history when I was at school unsure if they do now
Thank you and I will look up those songs.
It used to be played when flying back to Oz, on a long haul Qantas flight, I don’t know whether it still is or not? Covid has had me grounded. We have a few unofficial national anthems this is one of them. ❤️🇦🇺
If you want to see 'Wolverine' as an Aussie - watch the movie AUSTRALIA with him and Nicole Kidman. Well worth your time to see him as THE DROVER.
i will look that up Dee and i just saw the trailer and added to my list thanks.
@@CVTECK1 It's long and some people don't 'get it' but Baz was trying to bring a bit of the old into this film so it is over dramatized in parts. You will see Hugh looking very like Clint Eastwood in a bar scene in the beginning.
Longreach is very significant to QANTAS it is the companys birth place
This song was written by Peter Allan and qantas brought the rights to the song ,and the red water are salt streams,thanks for playing Aussie music.
The Pink lakes - scientists say it is a sort of algae I am pretty sure - not harmful - you can swim in it. The 'Mountain' is Uluru right in the centre of Australia - the rock and a spiritual place for the indigenous peoples
Love it.
Just a little information on the mountain. It's actually a rock called Uluṟu (Ayer's Rock), it connects DEEEP underground all the way through and up again to the Kata Tjuta (Olgas). It's an absolute freak of nature that is 550 million years old. It is also the worlds largest Sandstone Monolith. It is the most beautiful and iconic landmark of Australia and thus why it's the premier shot of this video. It's beauty is almost unmatched. Keep up the work mate. The rest of the world needs to see more of Australia and it's beauty and grace. 🇦🇺(we really need a Aboriginal Flag emoji)🇺🇸
Loved your response im an Aussie and i learned something 😁 thankyou

When salt water combines with algei water turns pink
Na our national anthem (unofficial but we're working on making it official) is The Seekers- i am Australian.
Oh wow unofficial. Well you guys few choices of music that represents Australia 🌏🦘.
Aussie Aussie Aussie
Just started watching your channel I'm Matt from Australia 🇦🇺 we are so lucky to have an extraordinary relationship with your country, you are amazing people and I love our country's. I have learnt a great deal about your country and I admire the perseverance and sacrifice for liberty and justice for all. God bless America.
Welcome aboard! and I love all the things I'm learning about Australia. But the People are also great Matt.
Yeah we have natural pink lakes in Australia. Its caused by a specific algae . The international airline QUANTAS Is the safest airline in the world. Theyve never had a crash even though the black box was invented in Australia. Hope you're well mate😊 cheers
Natural pink lake
Yes - Not a bad commercial. Lots of Aussie 'stars' here. For example; long before Hugh Jackman was in Wolverine he was in Musical Theatre; acting and singing.
The mountain you commented on is a stunning and unique Australian landmark. At 863 metres height this is Uluru; the world's second largest sandstone monolith (one large solid block of stone). Made even more dramatic by sitting on a completely flat desert plain. The largest is also an Australian; Mount Augustus in Western Australia. These are only around 550 million years old! Think about how sandstone is formed. Most of what is now inland Australia was once a vast inland sea. Called Ayers Rock by white settlers for around 200 years, it was formally returned to it's original First Peoples name in 1993. Uluru and nearby Kata Tjuta are sacred sites for the Aboriginal people, who are the longest continuous surviving human culture in the world and have inhabited Australia for at least 70,000 years. All Australian landscapes play an important role in their spiritual life, as they see themselves as very much part of the earth and visa versa.
Australia's Pink Lakes are formed on ancient salt pans and their various colours depend on their salt concentration.
This song was written by the great Aussie Singer/Song writer; Peter Allen. 😊👍
AT 4.50 ...Hutt Lagoon Pink Lake, AT YALLABATHARRA. WESTERN AUSTRALIA. WHY? Thanks to algae that live in the water, Dunaliella salina.
The coloured lake is due to algae reacting with the salts in the water. There is a lake in South Australia that is pink and blue.
The lake is called Lake McDonnell.
Ahhh is it them pink salts?
It's actually hutt lagoon in Western Australia
Longreach is where Qantas first stared
You should also check out Great Southern Land. U will see our lovely country even more. BTW the water is that colour due to the algae.
Will do Rikki thanks
Your calling Uluru a mountain is a slight mistake as according to Goggle it is classed as a monolith (A large single block of stone) there are larger stones in the world but Uluru is one singular piece of sandstone rising to 850 meters above the ground but below ground extends another 2.5Km. The rock is sacred to the Aboriginal peoples and is a important part of their Dreamtime Legend's. The kids playing (probably on a cattle station in the Outback) are using a Rugby ball not a AFL ball. Longreach is where Qantas was founded in 1920. That this was a commercial for an airline having this effect makes it one of the best. As you said "We can fly everywhere but Australia's still home" not many countries have that grip on their peoples heart's.
Calling Uluru a monolith is using a generalization. Uluru is actually an inselberg, to be more precise. Cheers mate :)
Hi, you need to look at the music video GREAT SOUTHERN LAND THE FROM ICE HOUSE , THE NEWER VERSION THAT SHOWS ALL OF OUR BEAUTIFUL LAND

@@CVTECK1 You enjoying it? Have you chosen a team?
0:45 beautiful mountain??? It's Ayers Rock now known as Uluru - the world's largest monolith!!! One of the major tourist attractions in Australia.
Mate. That mountain is a rock :)
Safest Airline in the World .
This is my first time hearing that airline but I won't forget it haaaa
Of course Hugh Jackman, Wolverine, being an Australian.
Just an add to promote tourism to our country , that's Ayers Rock in the beginning of the video not a mountain lol very important to our indigenous people. 💕
Thanks for the info!
Hahahaha yep a commercial, the song is by Peter Allen R.I.P. and Qantas has used it for decades and always very well done. Some big stars in the clip as well, you picked Hugh, but Kylie, Troy Sivan and Ash Barty also.

The late Peter Allen song.
I keep seeing Peter's name the song writer RIP
Watch this Australia great Southern land
Will do June.
Los Angeles appears in the video.
It was a kid running with a Rugby Union ball, not an AFL ball lol but close enough :)
I'm learning lol
It is an Aussie song Peter Allen had a hit with it .
It's not a mountain it's uluru land that is sacred to indigenous Australians you can visit but cannot climb it.
It is not an AFL ball. They are playing Rugby League, not Australian Rules. Dennis, Australia.
Oh my fault Dennis i can't tell the difference
@@CVTECK1 No worries mate, no great drama. I'm glad you watched & liked the video. Dennis.
@@CVTECK1 It's OK mate. If they were REAL Australians they'd be playing AFL...(wait for the hate mail).
@@mrmockatoo6786 I got your back mate but wayyyyyyyy back here haaa. That mail is coming.
@@CVTECK1 Thanks, mate. So far, all quiet on the western front.
Qantas The most hated company in Australia
It's not a mountain it's a rock Uluru
Ahhhh right. It was the first time seeing that and my mind is racing when I watch these videos so I get so many things wrong haaa. Thank you
You know what I love?? Watching Americans (particularly). After Trump I was a little traumatised by how that could possibly happen!
I feel like I’ve learned that Americans are trapped in a ridiculous brainwashed system, and most aren’t self involved…..just haven’t had the opportunity to learn! Simple posts like this! 🤘🏻
Well Fiona let's take the time and learn about each other you know. To be honest that's what I'm doing and it feels nice. I love the Australian country and people and I can also say I have few friends down there too. Hi Fiona my and is Jorge 😜
Mate it's just a qantas ad an airline company
Please turn up the advert volume and turn your microphone down!!!
If you want to see some amazing sites of Australia, watch Chris Hemsworth tourism clip ruclips.net/video/V7dukhch8u0/видео.html . Cheers from Down Under 🇦🇺😀
I will look into it and thank you katrina
Hmm not an AFL ball though. AFL balls are made of kangaroo leather not this BS rubber.
