A referendum was held and that was ditched, several songas were put forth, <b>"Song of Australia", "Advance Australia Fair" , "Waltzing Matilada" </b> and I think a couple of others...<br /> <br /> Most liked Waltzing Matilda, but as everyone realised despite our passion for the song...<b>Its about a criminal stealing someone elses property, then defying legal Justice and killing himself.......</b><br /> <br /> So we went for the best of a bad bunch and used "Advance Australia Fair", most of the songs submitted were well known Australian songs, but not really stirring, some have suggested that Advance Australia be sung to the tune of Waltzing matilda, or perhaps other words be used that made more sense...but then it wouldnt be waltzing matilda...<br /> <br /> regards<br /> Peter <hr /><a name="a2542_7"></a><p><b>From: LaZerDude (C_BURKE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=2542.7">#7</a>]<br /> 30 Dec 2005<br /><b>To: Peter</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=2542.4">#4</a>] 4 Jan 2006</p> Ahhhhh Now I can rest. <hr /><p align="center">Show messages: <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=2542.1">All</a>  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=2542.1">1-5</a>  6-7</p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2024 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
