A new national anthem

[g-fish]

So we won some event at the olympics and our national anthem started to play.... it didnt sound very aussie. All the other national anthems are the same, rather boring, and not very traditional. So i think its about time we changed the anthem again. I had a think about it.
My question:
What song captures australia better than any other song? What song captures the essence of Australia?

[StInKy LoVeR]

My votes on this. Freaking awsome.

I can picture a full crowd in Sydney Wallabies v All blacks just belting out that jimmy barnes anthem. I think it represents australia and is really catchy and would make you want to sing the national anthem. Compared to our lousy one today.

Idiots.......go back to school.

I've always thought it was pretty shitty compared to most others. Some European countries have such amazing sounding melodies, then you hear the Australian one and it just sounds... boring.

Im in school, i relise that the anthem was changed not to long ago, and there was a vote for the anthem (i would have voted for waltzing matilda)

exactly, i think we should have ''i come from a land down under" as our anthem, imagine that being sung at the olympics! That would be great.

Uhh... not really what I was getting at... but meh.

"The New National Anthem of Australia"

OHHH Australia, Australia!
Our Country so fair,

We stand atop our hills so dry,
with proudness in our hearts
with dusty steeds,
and noble beast

were proud and strong and tuff,
and once youve watched
us flying down hills
well knock your soks wright off!

In Aussie pride now let us sing,
Advance australia Fair!

" We are the greatest,
we are the bestest,
we have very fast
riders. We have Rennie and Hill,
And Luke and Greavsey too,
Mick Hannaand Jared Rando
just to name a few!"
