i am an aussie and have never heard this one (well heard the song but not seen or heard it this way) - was just sent this by an American friend of mine...lol
I am an a 75 year old American and I have lived and worked in China and have been in most European countries. I have heard most countries patriotic songs and their National anthem's. This should be Australia's National anthem as I think it the best nationalistic song I have ever heard. The Aussies have a great deal to be proud of--great people, great songs and great allies!
sorry Marnix van St.aldegonde i n Prison by the Spaniards in 1560 based upon his belief in the Reformation.in europe they did not know there was Australia
@@louiserawle8999 I love this song it touches my heart and I'm not australian. This version is good no doubt but the best version is by the Seekers RIP Judith Durham.
I trained with some Aussie soldiers back in the day. The Aussie sense of national loyalty and pride is remarkable. A blessing and a pleasure to have known and worked with these good men.
I was down in Indian country in the Republic of Vietnam flying in a USA OH 6A helicopter in 1968. We were in bad shape. We called for a rescue. No one was around. Who shows up? The Australians! Thank you Australians. I now have children and grandchildren. This is a very appropriate song for Australia. Eaglegards...
I had a friend who fought in Nam and he said the Aussies were as brave as they come! Thank you Australians and Americans. Without people like you we would not have our freedom!
@@normansykes6918 my boy served with Aussies in Iraq. Said they’re great people and he’s thought about moving to Australia when he gets out of the service.
We just lost Judith and Olivia in just a few days, real Australians with beautiful voices and beautiful souls, may they Rest In Peace in God’s loving arms ❤❤❤🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
This brought me to tears. Such a beautiful song and it alway makes me think about Judith. This lady did a terrific job. She to has a beautiful voice. Loved it from NC, USA.
My wife and I have been in Australia three times. All our children have been our daughter and her husband will remain. Australia is a great country peopled by a great and diverse people. Mirusia sings " I am Australian " with style and meaning. We hope to visit again before time catches up with us. God bless Australia.

I Am Australian" (or "We Are Australian") is a popular Australian song written in 1987 by Bruce Woodley of the Seekers and Dobe Newton of the Bushwackers. Its lyrics are filled with many historic and cultural references, such as to the "digger", Albert Namatjira and Ned Kelly, among others.
Can't understand why the is not the Australian national anthem; one of the most stirring and heart warming anthems. Go on Aussies make it Yours. Good on Ya Mate -
WE would if we could but the fuddy duds that hold the whip hand love the current diatribe some goat put to music! I dont think it was even written in Australia.
@@ivanolsen8596 The only diatribe I can see are your comments.Advance Australia Fair was written in Australia in the late 19th century and many of the lyrics reflected the sentiments of that time.Today only two stanzas are ever sung while the other three were in praise of the British Empire and have rightly been discarded.These two stanzas are truly reflective of Australian sentiments.They extol the virtues and wonder of living in such a free and open society and the idea of fair treatment for all without calling on a god to intercede on our behalf but to be open to all who wish to call Australia home.Do you wish for an anthem pleading to god to save the monarch with the implication that the devil take the rest (British ) or the New Zealand and Canadian one that also begs the deity to bless them all ( a great leap forward from the British ). Maybe the French and Chinese who declare death and mayhem to all who appose their will ( the Chinese being the Chinese stole that idea from the French but of course without the stirring music ) or finally the American anthem which declare their superiority in all things, where only perfection reigns due to the uniqueness of American patriotism. PS : In American slang 'goat' is used to describe someone who is the best of the best so your use of that word to describe the composer of Advance Australia Fair' has a certain poetic irony, if you are American. PSS : 'diatribe' -- A bitter and violent denunciation ( Macquarie Dictionary definition ).
Because my dearest English friend, we are your most likely your ancestors.. " We are one, but we are many And from all the lands on earth we come" Remember England is our Motherland..
This is a great song beautifully sung which give me goosebumps every time I listen to it. I have 0 Australian blood in my veins but think the country and its people are wonderful.
I became an Australian citizen And Loved it here. 68 years I em here.And love ❤️ the Song.. 😂 And very Harge Country. But love the Music 🎶 🎵 Thank you.! AUSTRALIAN, S
I have always been enthralled and in awe of Australia. I love learning of as much as possible od Australian history, legend and amazing spirit. I am not Australian, but I know this song by heart and love it. It makes my soul soar. Blessed be Australia!
I've lived in Europe since I retired 12 years ago and because of the virus I have not been able to take my annual trek home to visit friends and family this year so this really struck a chord with me. On top of that, I lived in Maastricht for two years and lived in the same street as Andre. Probably my favourite city in Europe and it was interesting to see Andre and his wife out shopping in the neighbourhood. So, I loved this on many levels.
This song reflects what the United States of America should be. If you are not a Native person, who know that we all came from somewhere else, either voluntarily or involuntarily. Out of this difference of heritage must come thet spirit of One People.
The Seekers with the fabulous Judith Durham made this song unforgetable! Mirusia does a great rendition nevertheless. Beautiful woman with a beautiful voice. Andre and the JSO are marvelous as always!
Mirusia you are just awesome. You sing this song so beautifully and I am not even an Australian. Kudos also to Andre Rieu and his orchestra. May God Bless you all.
I will be doing great injustice to Bruce Woodley who wrote this beautiful song if I forget to say "Thank you Bruce for writing such a heart moving song". Kudos to Judith and the Seekers for sing this wonderful song. You all are one of my top favorites. God Bless you all.
I am glad this rendition includes all of the verses. In its scope, the song reminds me of "America the Beautiful," touching various members of society as well as the land itself.
I have watched many of her performances and this is the one that impresses me the most because of the emotion than can be read on her face. She was proud to have been given the chance to sing this song in front of her brothers and sisters :)
Judith Durham did this beautifully, of course. This is also magic. And I am a Kiwi. Kids and Grandchildren in Melbourne though. This is the most wonderful song ever. Take a bow the Seekers.
I am not an Australian but for me the most beautiful song sang by Murisia the Ausies can be so proud of this song and of Murisia who is such a talented singer every time I hear this song I get goosebumps and just love it. The Ausies are a very great proud nation. God bless them all. From South Africa 🙏🙏🙏🙏
My Family and I migrated to Australia from the U.K. in 1982, we have never regretted our decision one little bit... We are Australians by Choice and Proud of it, we have all tried to put back into Australia More that we Got. Australia is not perfect but is without a doubt the best Country to live in in the World!. I say that as have travelled to and worked in many other Countries. Certainly "I am an Australian" perfectly captures the Australian History and Cultures and SHOULD be our National Anthem as "Advance Australia Fair" is boring! dull and meaningless. "I am Australian" is so inspiring and motivating that It Draws Attention and fuels Passion.
Oh no I am not Michael numbnuts,I am soo jingoistic My so has recently come back from overseas and is so proud to be an Aussie,if you are not take a plane to China.
Lived and worked in the US some decades ago. I found Americans friendly, generous and welcoming. Went to visit my former girlfriend after 37 years a few weeks ago. Got the same treatment from her family.

being Aussie I have heard this song by many artists and I would say this is one of the best live performances of the song I have ever heard ..great voice Mirusia Louwerse
I’m English, but during the late fifties we were due to emigrate to Australia as Dad had managed to get a good job in Sydney after spending time there during the war. . Due to a few hitches we never got there. My late Mum always told me I was destined a to be an Aussie. I’m getting old now but regret never becoming an Aussie. I love this song - it should be the National Anthem. Before I die, I would dearly love to visit that wonderful country. I’ve always loved ‘The Seekers’ and they made the U.K. a better place by their musical talent which I remember so well during the 1960s. I love the words: “came from many lands”. That applies to so many countries. We always thought we were English but, family research, and an extensive DNA tests, show we were, hundreds of years ago, originally from Russia and Scandinavia and Scotland. There you go! I still want to be Australian!
Stand strong, you Aussies. America needs to anchor on you for a while, until we can reclaim our national soul. This marvelous song expresses the nation I grew up again. Pray we can get back there again. In the meantime, we'll look to the people described in this song.
Why cant we all start a movement so when we become a republic, make this our national anthem. And move australia day to january 1st. Or institute a Federation Day on Jan1 because thats when all the seperate colonies became ONE couñtry Australia.
@@kerrinorourke5914 it's a little too long to be our national anthem although I agree it would be the best choice. But could you imagine singing this before the footy. It would be halftime before the song is over.
Nie wiem, ile razy słuchałem tej niezwykle wspaniałej pieśni narodowej australijczykow, ale za każdym razem przeżywam ją tak samo z wielkim uniesieniem. Jest piekna w wielu wykonaniach, ale Mirusia robi to z wyjątkowym wdziękiem. Gratuluję i dziękuję. Jan
Imagine this national treasure singing this Aussie "anthem" at a major sports event like the MCG AFL Grand Final before a crowd of 100,00 roaring fans.....
With no disrespect to Andre and his orchestra there is but one person who can give this song it's full credit and that person is Judith Durham and the Seekers
This is one my favorite pieces of music. This was not written until a decade or more after my time in the NT of Australia back in the 70s. This is just great for my memories.
@@JamesMiller-ed3oz I do not know who you are. You can be my friend but I inform you that I do not chat with people I do not know. What do you want to know?
I am an adopted Aussie. I fell in love with Oz, back in the early '70's. Episodes of Skippy, the kangaroo, 1960's TV show. Then, The Paul Hogan Show, 1970's and 1980's. Penpals 1987 visited 1988 (Bicentennial). Deposited money in 1988 in ANZ Bank. Etc....
So moving! So brilliant! .... I once dreamed of coming to Australia. Too late now, but I will always hold on to my respect, awe and admiration. Mirusia - you are amazing! May the Gods bless you!

Advance Australia Fair is still pretty good
Did you ever heard the Dutch National Song based upon our Prince of Oranje who was the base of our Nation,made by Marn
sorry Marnix van St.aldegonde i n Prison by the Spaniards in 1560 based upon his belief in the Reformation.in europe they did not know there was Australia
As a proud Queenslander I love Marusia’s version. This should be the Australian National Anthem
First you need an own flag without the british flag in it
I totally agree it should be your national anthem.
Never heard a better song that represents a country. Go Aussies!

This should be our National Anthem, it covers everyone, acknowledges & respects the first owners of this land
What a beautiful song. And Mirusia’s an angel voice. I want to sing along even though I live as far from Australia as you can possibly go 😌
@Johnny Sinns It’s a damn sight better then God save the Queen!
I agree, it encompasses all Australians. I feel proud as an emigrant to call Australia home.
@@brianrsnes7875 I have to agree about this version. Mirusia does a really great job to convey its true meaning to all.
Leaving the Commenwealth will bring you your own Nationalanthem. And Bruce Woddley did a great job when he wrote this song.
I am Australian, and I'm so proud to speak out that "I'm Australian" 🇦🇺
Good for you DG. Glad to call you an ally.
You have a right to be proud.
Do you aborigines?
Your flag show us that you are british colony. Australia needs an real own flag without the british flag.
Why this song hasn't become the Australian national anthem really puzzles me. It is a very moving and beautiful song.
Agree. What a disgrace this isn't the National anthem :(
I feel the same
I absolutely love the song. But it still disregard the aboriginal population. Australia is more than descendents from 18th century convicts.
I agree.
@@brianrsnes7875 No it doesn't, in the first verse and in the reference to Albert Namajira, it acknowledges them.
I was down in Indian country in the Republic of Vietnam flying in a USA OH 6A helicopter in 1968. We were in bad shape. We called for a rescue. No one was around. Who shows up? The Australians!

Stand strong, you Aussies. America needs to anchor on you for a while, until we can reclaim our national soul. This marvelous song expresses the nation I grew up again. Pray we can get back there again. In the meantime, we'll look to the people described in this song.
Rebsarge....preach on my brother...the day is coming!!!
rebsarge ,,yah mate you can hang with us, we will always be there for you USA/AU
We ain't going anywhere mate. No one will ***k with us.
Couldn't be bloody prouder. Wish this was our national anthem, reflects everything myself and all mates are.
Why cant we all start a movement so when we become a republic, make this our national anthem. And move australia day to january 1st. Or institute a Federation Day on Jan1 because thats when all the seperate colonies became ONE couñtry Australia.
@@kerrinorourke5914 it's a little too long to be our national anthem although I agree it would be the best choice. But could you imagine singing this before the footy. It would be halftime before the song is over.
Nie wiem, ile razy słuchałem tej niezwykle wspaniałej pieśni narodowej australijczykow, ale za każdym razem przeżywam ją tak samo z wielkim uniesieniem. Jest piekna w wielu wykonaniach, ale Mirusia robi to z wyjątkowym wdziękiem. Gratuluję i dziękuję. Jan
Imagine this national treasure singing this Aussie "anthem" at a major sports event like the MCG AFL Grand Final before a crowd of 100,00 roaring fans.....
1994 the Seekers
They did 1994 ,Geelong v West Coast Eagles , tears everywhere
With no disrespect to Andre and his orchestra there is but one person who can give this song it's full credit and that person is Judith Durham and the Seekers
@@patrickmccarthy3123 Definitely the exception!
@@shaneduffy9209Is that Shane that plays for Brighton and ROI or am I completely mistaken.
Dear god it feels so good to hear that. An angels voice, with an Aussie heart. As an Aussie abroad, it was perfect. Thanks
not even an aussie but damn !!! tears in the eyes
I love Maruisa! Love her voice. Everything she sings has me in awe. So thank you. This song is a very reminder that she is Austrailia!
Wspaniały głos Pani Mirusi i piękna pieśń w jej wykonaniu.
This is one my favorite pieces of music. This was not written until a decade or more after my time in the NT of Australia back in the 70s. This is just great for my memories.
I'm Fijian and my opinion is that this nation deserves this song as a the national anthem.
Seems an odd choice for the Fiji national anthem to me but each to his own
@@rajivmurkejee7498 I think you might have misread but I meant your nation (Australia) to deserve the song as the anthem🙂
Vey nice! Voice of Mirusia is just sweetly splendid! Splendid song, splendid Orchestra and of course the great Maestro.
Hi please can i ask you a question sorry for my manner
@@JamesMiller-ed3ozYes, you can.

@@JamesMiller-ed3oz I do not know who you are. You can be my friend but I inform you that I do not chat with people I do not know. What do you want to know?
I just want to be your friend like becoming your best friend

OMG..I'm crying listing to this song. Very beautiful and powerful song.
+iamsmiling very much so, in my next life can I come back as an Australian?
+iamsmiling It's not just me? Last time I was there was in 1988. I was there to celebrate the Oz bicentennial.
Glad to be an Aussie 👌🏻
I am an adopted Aussie. I fell in love with Oz, back in the early '70's. Episodes of Skippy, the kangaroo, 1960's TV show. Then, The Paul Hogan Show, 1970's and 1980's. Penpals 1987 visited 1988 (Bicentennial). Deposited money in 1988 in ANZ Bank. Etc....
Listen to the Seekers singing it, you'll be bawling.
Such a beautiful cover of this Judith Durham song. It epitomises what is Australia. 🇦🇺.
We like this song as our National anthem, my heart with my country “Australia”. Proud to be Australian. May God bless Australia.
When you see what Australians have made to Aborigénes native ,you can't be so proud to be Australian !!!
Seen video’s where André announces Mirusia sings like an angel. So, so true... Lovely song. God bless Australia!!
oh my gosh, I can't help but cry when I hear this song :-)
This is the best Australian song ever. And our girl sings it with pride . Very proud of Mirusia beautiful voice
This is so beautiful a song, loved it for years, thank you.
So moving! So brilliant! ....
I once dreamed of coming to Australia. Too late now, but I will always hold on to my respect, awe and admiration.
Mirusia - you are amazing! May the Gods bless you!
i love this song so much and proudly being an Australian
I am proud that she has a Polish heritage! I discovered her today on TV and turned to net to know more and I amvery delighted!
