I suppose it makes some people cry because it's simply a beautifully unpretentious piece of music. It is played throughout the film "On the Beach" about the futility of nuclear war and is so compelling.

My neighbor was from America but he moved to Australia for work. I went to work for him when he moved back, and I remember him playing this song. I never really had time to listen to it but I always remembered it. So I finally said I am going to listen to it, and it has now become one of my favorite songs. Like anybody cares but I thought I would share that.

if what i read is correct the Australian Army Men sang a version of this song while recruitment and Marching to war.. Matilda also refered to their sleeping bags they carried on their backs to war. waltzing the matilda meant as they marched the bag (aka matilda) moved like it were waltzing. it's a very fond song for the Aussies and i love it too. it's a song of brotherhood and comradery.

I dont know about the others but I pride myself in our heritage and history. Im proud to say the success and continued success of this country was born and bred from a British age. 1 000 000 Australian soldiers and nurses have died for the anthem and flag we proudly display today and I think it would be insulting and unnecessary to change it when we have so much to be proud of. The British didnt oppress us like they did the Americans, we had no reason to distance ourselves from our heritage.

As an American I admire the rebellliousness of this song and the refusal to submit to authority. I think we have alot in common with the Austrailians, wide open spaces, and being immigrants to a foreign, and unsettled frontier land. I think we're people of the same ilk, willing to leave everything in Europe behind to better our selves in lands of opportunity, and that spirit is something that I don't think anyone left in Europe has, and that's why we're better than them in everyway.

Whilst he's singing away, the land owner happens upon him, followed by some lawmen, wanting to know about the freshly slaughtered sheep which happens to be his property. The vagabond, rather than be arrested and hanged as a thief, jumps into the water and drowns himself and it is said that his ghost may be heard singing about life as drifter when you pass by that billabong.

most itunes versions of this are cheesy little kids songs. I believe this version has a true power behind it. Especially with the authentic Australian voice and the folk feel sung in a slow yet powerful tone. The best part is at the end where the crowd passionately joins in. I believe it symbolizes that all Aussies can join together to be part of something greater than themselves. As an American who studied abroad there I want to say I have the deepest respect for Australia and its people.

And the best part of this rendition of the song is when the whole crowd is singing the chorus, that's how us Australian's do it. Nobody will ever match that!
