for the footy ignoramous..
Tonight here in Australia we have the footy match called "state of origin" where queensland is up against nsw in a head to head battle of rugby league.
Before the game starts they all stand up to sing the Australian National Anthem.
Well.. this reminds me of when I was in the USA where everyone would stand and place their hand on their hearts and sing their anthm with pride.
Not here,
For those blockheads who dont know it, well Ill post the words for you..
Australians all let us rejoice
For we are young and free
We've golden soil and wealth for toil,
Our home is girt by sea:
Our land abounds in nature's gifts
Of beauty rich and rare,
In history's page let every stage
Advance Australia fair,
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia fair.
Beneath our radiant Southern Cross,
We'll toil with hearts and hands,
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands,
For those who've come across the seas
We've boundless plains to share,
With courage let us all combine
To advance Australia fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia fair.
Maybe we as Australians should be proud of our country and understand its heritage a little more.
