Providing historical Australian Patriotic songs with some rare recordings thrown in.
Mike Brady - Advance Australia Fair
Advance Australia Fair was adopted on April 19, 1984 and was originally officially proposed in 1974 to replace “God Save the Queen,” which had been the national anthem from 1788 to 1974. The original music and lyrics were composed by Peter Dodds McCormick, and first performed in Sydney in 1878. In 1977, in a plebiscite to choose a national tune, "Advance Australia Fair" won over "The Song Of Australia", "God Save The Queen", and "Waltzing Matilda".
This version, sung by Mike Brady, was published in August 1982 to commemorate the Commonwealth Games in Brisbane and was also used by a Queensland television station at their daily end of transmission. In this version, the refrain on the first verse is left out and goes straight into the second verse. This is probably one of the last recordings of the original composition before the lyrics were altered in 1984.
