    The pink coloured lakes are brought about by algae at certain times of the year.
    The ad was to commemorate Qantas returning to Flying to international destinations after covid, and it is the most beautiful ad I've seen in a long time. 👍🤗🥳

    The song was written by Peter Allen in 1980 and slightly modified by QANTAS for this commercial.

      And Hugh Jackman was "The Boy from Oz" in the Broadway musical of the same name in the early 21st century. It is the story of the legendary Peter Allen.

    The song is real, Qantas has used it in its ads forever but Peter Allen wrote it. This is the newest rendition of the ad - my favourite is when it was just the kids choir. Qantas actually flew them all round the world to shoot that ad.

    Qantas is an acronym of the airline's original name, Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services, as it originally served Queensland and the Northern Territory. It is popularly nicknamed "The Flying Kangaroo". It is considered the only airline in the world to fly to all seven continents, with it being the only airline operating regular sightseeing flights to Antarctica, along with flights to Africa, Europe, Asia, North America and South America.

    We have a number of pink lakes due to a type of algae. Lake Hillier is probably the most well known.

    That's one of the most memorable Australian ads. There are a few songs that are considered the *most* Australian and this is one of them.

    No, it is a famous song that QANTAS have used and changed the Ad every year for about 14 years. This one was to celebrate flying again because all Australian planes were parked in the desert for 2 years during COVID. Not just QANTAS. The one sitting on the bed talking on the phone is Ash Barty our world number one women’s tennis player when this was made. She retired to play golf. The one standing in the cold on the edge of an ocean pool is Adam Goodes. He was an amazing AFL player and a gentleman. I think the two in the ocean are multiple Olympic gold medalists in swimming, the Campbell sisters. I know the closest one is but I can’t quite catch the other one. They are usually together. The children singing in a classroom are in Longreach, Queensland. Where QANTAS started. All of the other CHILDREN are our National girls and boys choir. They are in them all and all are beautiful.
    We love to travel but Australia always calls us home. No matter where we go the best part is landing with this song playing.

    This isn't quite at the national anthem level, but it definitely tugs at the heart strings of all Aussies. Thanks to Peter Allen, sadly no longer with us, for writing this wonderful song that QANTAS has adopted as their own.

      I would say this is absolutely national anthem level! If we change our national anthem, I’m voting for this! Peter Allen is my favourite musician ever! RIP Peter Allen, forever a legend. 💖

    The first scene, It was called by the English Ayres Rock for a long time, but Aussies are giving stuff back to First Nationers (Aboriginals) and it is named back to Uluru. I'm happy living in the Northern suburbs of Sydney, many train Stations and streets have Kept First Nationers names since the beginning.

    Ash Barty was the lady talking on the mobile (famous Australian tennis player). I still call Australia home is originally sung (I think it was also written by him) by Peter Allen (who was also famous for "tenterfield saddler")

    The water was not pink because of salt deposits, it is pink because of the special algae that grow in the water there. There are several pink lakes in different widely separated areas of Australia and each location has a different unique species of algae. Most of the pink lakes are not particularly salty but heavy rainfall and flodding of fresh water into the lakes usually lessens the intensity of the colour for a time until the lakes, which generally have none or a very restricted outflow of water, are able to build back up its nutrient levels and stabilise its ph levels, mostly via some evsporation of the lake's water so the algae population can recover, build up and produce a more vivid colour.

      Yes, a combination of specific algae and bacteria is a recent understanding.

    You pronounced Quantas correctly👌 Quantas is the safest in the world Australian born & bred mate.
    Uluru, Pronounced "Oo Loo Roo", also known as Ayers Rock Pronounced "Airs Rock", it's a massive sandstone monolith, It outcrops near the centre of Australia in the southern part of the Northern Territory, it's sacred to the Pitjantjatjara people, one of the many antient Aboriginal clans of this great land. They've inhabited this area for over 10,000 years, respect.
    Dunaliella salina: This type of algae thrives in high salt concentration and produces beta carotene, giving it a reddish-pink hue. Quite common in Australia.

    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 school 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
