    I’ve never heard of this song UNTIL -
    We landed in Darwin and went into quarantine then on a Saturday night, people were playing music and this played. It was brilliant, completed a week in quarantine, sitting out on the balcony, relaxing and just slowly watching the sky turn all different colours as the sun began to set.
    What a start to my Australian adventure

    LYRICS
    By B. Brown/W. Johnson
    I've been around the world
    A couple of times or maybe more
    I've seen the sights, I've had delights
    On every foreign shore
    But when my mates all ask me
    The place that I adore
    I tell them right away
    Give me a home among the gumtrees
    With lots of plum trees
    A sheep or two, a k-kangaroo
    A clothesline out the back
    Verandah out the front
    And an old rocking chair
    You can see me in the kitchen
    Cooking up a roast
    Or Vegemite on toast
    Just you and me, a cup of tea
    And later on, we'll settle down
    And go out on the porch
    And watch the possums play
    There's a Safeways up the corner
    And a Woolies down the street
    And a brand new place they've opened up
    Where they regulate the heat
    But I'd trade them all tomorrow
    For a little bush retreat
    Where the kookaburras call
    Some people like their houses
    With fences all around
    Others live in mansions
    And some beneath the ground
    But me I like the bush you know
    With rabbits running round
    And a pumpkin vine out the back
    Songwriters: Robert Alexander Brown / Walter Edward Johnson

      Our two nations don't have grand cities or settlements (traditionally) we've both had an agricultural history, with no beautiful cities to look at we both ended up worshipping nature, I think this is why Americans and Australians have similar religious tendencies, we both live in and love gods creations, as he made it, not as man has built with stone to best nature, we accepted there is no perfecting gods very creation.

      CrabCakes how? Guns kill people. School shootings?? If America had gun control you would have less school shootings. And shootings in general. And yes guns are fun to shoot I go shooting each day. But you don’t need to own a gun. And you shouldn’t be able to let like a 5 year old shoot a rifle. Also why can you buy a little pink sniper rifle.

      Johnno The Yobbo as long as you train people to be safe with their guns and they don’t want to kill people they won’t, besides never once has a gun walked up and shot somebody. As for the pink rifle why should it matter what color the rifle is?
