    What's there to dislike about this song? I'm not an Aussie but I love it!

      This song describes my late Dad's idea of a "dream home" perfectly and he wasn't Australian.

    It's beautiful how the crowd got together and had a good time, and weren't in too much despair. I'm sure Steve would've wanted them to have a bloody celebration of his life instead of a funeral!

      That's how they have funerals in New Orleans. It's a celebration of the life that the person had, as well as the reward they've gained in Heaven.

    They play this song nightly at the Overlanders Steakhouse in Alice Springs, a wonderful restaurant in a spiffy town in a great country with the finest people on Earth. They make us Americans look bi-polar. LOVE AUSTRALIA.
