Interesting choice of second song as 'This is Australia' is actually a song saying how bad Australia is. I have always been stunned how people accept this as an 'anthem'. It was written as a criticism of Australia and Australia's conditions.

Oops, Sounds of Then is the same song as This is Australia :oops:
What I said about this being a strange choice of 'anthem' for Australia still stands though.

Its the same with Men At Work with their "great" Aussie song. I dont know how people can like a song by a bunch of Irish people paying out Australian culture.
