We don't write patriotic anthems. We write love songs to our country.

Brings a tear to my eye, every time. This spirit of Australia in this song reflects the identity of this country so well, its history. We need more Seekers and this humanity in the face of our mutual struggle through adversity in life. It brings people together in hope. Any Seekers song is good. I love Georgy Girl, anything at all by them. 💞

Loved your goosebumps reaction Dyce...I was born and grew up in the UK. In 1970 my wife and I along with our four young children emigrated to Australia. We are now proud Australians and this is our home, even when my wife and I have returned to the UK several times we do not call the UK home we love Australia it is our home. My wife and I are now in our 80s and we have 14 Grandchildren and 20 Great Grandchildren all born here in Australia.

Co-written by Bruce Woodley on the Acoustic , and Dobe Newton of the Bushwakers in 1988 ,the Seekers first did this in 1993 when they reformed after breaking up in 1968 . They originally formed in 1962 , and had many world wide hits

Great reaction! They were a group and had many, many hit's over 60 odd years. They wrote most of their own songs. Unfortunately we lost Judith a few years ago so of course, the band is no more. Thank you!

React to John Farnham singing "Help live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra". Then watch your aussie audience grow. Also another patriotic reaction is "Qantas advertisement, I still call Australia home". Great reaction seekers have been around since the early 60's, all retired now.

"I Am Australian" (or "We Are Australian") is a popular Australian song written in 1987 by Bruce Woodley of the Seekers and Dobe Newton of the Bushwackers. Its lyrics are filled with many historic and cultural references, such as to the "digger", Albert Namatjira and Ned Kelly, among others. Its popularity has made it one of a number of Australian patriotic songs considered as alternatives to the current national anthem, "Advance Australia Fair". It is commonly taught in primary schools. In the years since the song's release, there have been calls for it to become Australia's national anthem. Quoted from Wikipedia. Bruce Woodley was the guitarist and male singer in the video clip. Being also the co-author of the song he did sing it like he meant it.

It would be easier to be a patriotic Australian if I did'nt cringe everytime I hear Advance Australia fair. This song is a far better representation and should be the National Anthem.

Next up "I still call Australia home" Another love song to our country. They made the song into a Tourism commercial for Qantas, but it's the same song first written by Peter Allen in 1980 kzitem.info/news/bejne/jqSf341-nqp-h6Q

It's hard for a lot of people to understand the lines of this song as a person not from Australia. It's very much about history thru the times of our Great Southern Land as well as the land itself. What catches somebody that's not from Australia to this song is the chorus which is great but for us Aussie's & knowing our country's history of course the verses just makes sense ❤

FAREWELL to a huge, popular, world-wide career as a musical group for many years. This song is an unofficial anthem of Australia. This is an insightful comment from you. Check out Australia's GOAT singer, John Farnham. Make sure the video is a LIVE in concert one. John is a singing genius !

Thanks for a great reaction to such an emotional song. The seekers were actually very successful recording artists in Aus and UK back in the 60s with a string of top 10 hits, and also charted several times in the US. As others have mentioned, this was their farewell performance because Judith Durham had had a stroke and sat through the performance. Her haunting voice is still stunning, though.
