    There is no true blue Aussie that wouldn't get a tear in their eye when hearing this song. (As well as "i am Australian") we dont get all patriotic hand on heart, normally ... But we do feel pride, when we hear our unofficial anthems, like this one.

    There's nowhere else on Earth like Australia because our continent split off from the rest of the world forever ago, so most of our plant and animal life is unique. I've travelled a bit and there is always a point where every one of my skin cells and my entire body longs to be home, to smell it, feel it, be immersed in it. I love my country and I'm so glad I was born here. I just hear the first bars and I'm crying like a baby, even when home, with my feet on beautiful Aussie soil.

    This song was written and performed by singer songwriter Peter Allen. A wonderful talent from Tenterfield, Australia. He married Liza Minnelli and there is a broadway show about his life.

    The song Tenterfield Saddler is one of the most heart warming bio songs I ever heard.

    A few years ago I spent 12 months living in USA and one day I was driving from Florida back to Augusta. I had a cd on in the car I make before I left home and one of the songs on it was I still call Australia home. Needless to say as an Aussie I missed home and when the started play in the car I burst into tears and realized how fantastic my home country is and missed it. However I did enjoy your country but after hearing the song I couldn’t wait to step onto Aussie soil again 😊

    This song not only makes me feel proud to be Australian but an Indigenous Australian. Aboriginal Australian is accepted but most prefer Original Australian. I get goosebumps and tear up every time. I love the unity and diversity that this video represents. The video features Australian Girls Choir with National Boys Choir and the Gondwana Choir, Kylie Minogue, Hugh Jackman, Ash Barty, Adam Goodes, Troye Sivan, Ellie Cole, Brontë Campbell, Bangarra Dancers. Iconic symbols of Australia such as Uluru, the Hills Hoist clothesline with kids playing footy around it, Bondi beach, WA’s Hutt Lagoon, Tasmania’s Cape Raoul cliffs, SA’s Salt lakes, the Whitsundays, Longreach, Brisbane. Thank you 🖤💛❤️🇦🇺

    I’m Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, you can say Aboriginal or Indigenous 😊. Indigenous is usually a collective term for both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (two, quite distinct but also both, Indigenous cultures). Or we also go by First Nations, much like Native Americans, when we talk to international people. So when I talk to people from overseas I usually say I’m Indigenous Australian or First Nations Australian, when I talk to people from Australia I will say I am Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. It’s usually easiest for people to understand this way. The person you did see in the beginning of the video was an Aboriginal (or Indigenous) elder 😊

    My mom was an east Texas girl, I grew up in an old southern family but I've lived in Australia now for 27/28 years. Had a whole US life before I got here and as much as I've always loved the US, I am grateful to AUS because some of my greatest gifts ever I've received here, my husband, daughter, reliable health, security, calm. During Covid, after stupid political tricks, the entire country was shut down for what seemed like 2-3 years, QANTAS, the national airline, was almost destroyed, so they were getting everyone ready to travel again (anywhere we want to go is at least a 10-14 hour flight) so a new ad was needed, one that reflected current Australia. It's such a great song (the country has the ugliest National anthem!) written by a man who had to go to NYC for his career so he was always homesick and understood loneliness. And the fact that every kind of native, Indigenous people, singing, dancing, walking about in nature, as well as all the other totemic things that non-Aussies can recognise (like kangas and koalas), the cities, the rugby and the amazing mix of people who live here, well, I seen and lived that change.
    Come on down to visit and we can compare barbecue.

  • @theadventuresofzoomandbettie

    this is a throwback to an old Qantas ad where they used the national childrens choir to do the song, and it's stuck with generations. Now this version was filled with a lot of legends like Kylie and Hugh Jackman, then new famous crew like Troy Sivan. Was a great tribute to the original. And post covid, where people could start coming home that were stuck overseas..... tugs at the heart strings

    As an Australian this song makes me a blabbering mess. My sister has been living in England for longer than she was born, as she went on a holiday at 18 and met her husband. She came back for a holiday after many years away and during her stay we had a nice meal out at a local Greek restaurant- we organised a cake and “I still call Australia Home” to be played when it came out. The WHOLE restaurant joined in singing - it was so special and there were lots of hugs all around form everyone at the restaurant.

    Hi, new viewer here. You came up in my algorithm and I loved your video. That's a like and a follow from me. You're both gorgeous 😍
    I know it's been said...but just another Aussie here beating the drum about this song and "I am Australian" being so woven into our DNA as Australians. I swear. We've all known these songs our whole lives and they are honest to God tear jerkers. Qantas being Australia's first and most highly rated airline company (lol despite some recent job and money controversies) they have used this song for decades. They have done so with such creativity and artistry that even if you haven't stepped a foot off Australian soil...you will still be blinking back tears and get that warm feeling in your chest. Despite everything, despite whatever divides us, whatever our race, sex/gender, ethnicity, socio-economic status whatever...despite ALL of that...this song is just about embracing our country and the things we each as an individual love about our HOME. I know this song was played for people on the first flights returning into Australia after the Covid closures and I am sure there wouldn't have been a dry eye in the place. So moving. Whoever first started this song and its association with Qantas, whether it was written exclusively for them, I'm not sure...but whoever was in charge of this ad campaign all those decades ago...I hope they were highly rewarded for their genius. It is just an ad campaign that grows with us and is more and more beautiful with each rendition. Plus the children's choir...shiiiiii* well that's enough on it's own to bring a tear to your eye it's so beautiful.
