At the risk of offending our Aussie friends, I've always thought Waltzing Matilda ('tho maybe just the tune, with some fresh lyrics) would have been a far more jolly National Anthem than Advance Australia Fair.


Pandy,

No offense
This was probably the feelings of a majority of Aussies at the time but from my point of view I think Advance Australia Fair has now taken hold and it seems to fit the bill. It must be sung with gusto though
