What a fantastic but very sad song. One of my favorites of all time. Long live a true Aussie legend and an awesome singer and songwriter. R.I.P. you Aussie icon!!!!
I played this for my young daughters recently. Just the other day they were in the back yard singing it together. That was so lovely. What a brilliant song.
I named my 3 year old son Archie. The name came to me from Archie Roach... who he was, what he did, his music, his life journey. When debating weather or not this name was right, the thought of Archie Roach always reassured me. Tonight I was humming this song and my Archie said he liked it, so I played it for him. We shared a beautiful and emotional moment. RIP Archie Roach ❤💛🖤
The news today just adds an extra stomach punch to the honesty of this track, told with such melodic beauty. . Taking the dogs for a walk i really. Need some fresh air now
Archie and Ruby were friends, not only through my mother but through their sons who went to the same school as my daughter. Their twins would come to my daughter’s birthday and vice versa. They were amazing hosts and beautiful guests. I really do miss their presence 💔😔 They were humble and welcoming. RIP to beautiful souls 😔🥰

Farewell Archie. You were the best. This is one of my favourite Archie songs. So beautifully constructed.
I believe that it is written by Ruby Hunter....not that either would mind the error.

How did i not know this song existed!?! The fact that it didn't chart here in Australia is a travesty. What an amazing tune!
Yes, it was written by his wife Ruby Hunter, singing in this video. 🙂

Beautiful. Dissapointed I only discovered Archie after he passed. RIP.
Listen to Archies 'There is a Garden' if you haven't already. One of (if not) Australia's greatest spiritual anthem.
thanks , I will listen to it now@matthewrichmond4139
This song is at the heart of the soundtrack of Australia. So sad to hear that this legend has gone.
This song hits home for a lot of us black or white who've lived hard times and became stronger people as we grew older for our own family brilliant song love ya uncle 👍
