Advance Australia Fair (Anthony Callea )

Australians all let us rejoice,

For we are young and free;

We've golden soil and wealth for toil,

Our home is girt by sea;

Our land abounds in Nature's gifts

Of beauty rich and rare;

In history's page, let every stage

Advance Australia fair!

In joyful strains then let us sing,

"Advance Australia fair!"

Beneath our radiant Southern Cross,

We'll toil with hearts and hands;

To make this Commonwealth of ours

Renowned of all the lands;

For those who've come across the seas

We've boundless plains to share;

With courage let us all combine

To advance Australia fair.

In joyful strains then let us sing

"Advance Australia fair!"

It's performed by Anthony Callea of Australian Idol '04, who has also done pretty well for himself singing The Prayer too...

This wasn't made official anthem till the mid-eighties, after some of the lyrics in the traditional patriotic song were modified or deleted...
