- God Bless Australia was a proposed 1961 Australian national anthem by Australian songwriter Jack O'Hagan who provided patriotic lyrics to the traditional tune of Waltzing Matilda.
I learnt this patriotic song when I was in school in Australia. I immigrated to Canada when I was 15 1/2 yrs old but remember all the words still, and am now 60. God Bless Australia, especially now with all the bushfires. May it end soon.
Am also australian
I'm Australian and I didn't even know this song existed thanks 👍🏻
Share with your fellow Australians!
I’m in the same boat, why is it to the tune of Waltzing Matilda?
lol communism doesnt fucking work. anyone who supports it is simple retarded
For many years they used to sing this before the main Bathurst 1000 race. I suppose PC put an end to that.
Wood3660 Death to PC. A new age is coming.
The best national anthem that never happened! God bless Australia!
Tazzie Devil this isn’t our national anthem sadly
@@oscarwillis6643 I always wished it was.
Beautiful song! God bless Australia! 🇬🇧🤝🇦🇺
beatiful country.
It's good to be an Australian
Why, this hasn't aged well.
Its not good to be an Australian....
BECAUSE ITS AWESOME!❤❤❤
@@ikeyjae ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Definitely agree
🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
God Bless the brave Anzacs that defended and continue to defend our great nation
Happy Australia Day!
Becomes patriotic for a country I've never been to
Cindy Reed thank you from a 10 year old aussie
Most foreigners love Australia more than Australians do.
Have fun yeah I disagree. You don’t have to be British. This country is always going to be multicultural. The problem is people who come here and live in their little groups and don’t want to adopt our traditions and customs
Have fun Why?
I have the same problem :)
Greetings from Poland! LONG LIVE AUSTRALIA

that riiiiiiiiiiiiiiigth, gimme gimme. We love the (modern) Polish too!
And God bless Poland, home of the brave!
I love Australia. I've visited three times and I will be back again.
Sorry, old son, but you won't be back. It's now 2021 and 4 years since you wrote your above comment. Australia has become a Police State, no fly in zone (unless you're a Kidman or a Hemsworth with your own private jet). Along with NZ, we have become the Test Case for the introduction of a New World Order.
@@s.e.wagger3888 I am living in Hong Kong, you will know what is meant by police state if you have the chance living in Hong Kong. By the way, I had been studying in Melbourne for several years and I like this place. I came back to here for holidays almost every year before pandemic.
Happy Australia Day
Hi there 👋.
Lovely, mate.
YES THIS SHOULD BE AUSTRALIAS NATIONAL ANTHEM. I hate Advance australia fair but I always thought Waltzing Matilda was too off topic for an anthem
Kiwi Mapping they left won't allow it, imagine a song that mentions fathers, race and ownership of land and willingness to defend it? I can hear the screeching whores now... reeeeeee, white cis heteronormative patriarchy reeeeeeee!! I feel dirty just knowing those words
I would prefer Advance Australia Fair with the original 1879 lyrics.
Now, this sounds like a national anthem:)
Steven Edwards The songs mention the Anzacs too. IT. GLORIFIES WAR!!!! REEEEEEEE!!!!
@@kingbillycokebottle5484 What about the Canadian anthem? Or the French? Heck, even Britain's and America's. You've turned this into an entirely different issue that seems more like projection than anything else.
It sounds like "Waltzing Matilda"
Greetings from New Zealand
♥️🇳🇿♥️🇦🇺♥️ ANZAC FOREVER!
why in the world is this not our Nation Anthem????? i dont mind Australia Fair but this is 10 times better!!
TheDesertFox
because politicians are traitors
Because the left would see it as racist, and the left our turning kids into leftists i see it first hand
@@aus822 exactly, it's awful, it kills patriotism and love of nation under the guise of "fighting nazism"
BEcause we already have god save the queen as our royal anthem i thonk, its kinda like our country tis of thee is just a patriotic song in america that is much betr
I know right, this is so unifying
I would prefer this to be our anthem as this feels more Australian than our current anthem.

The anthem did change as it was more British than Australia
@@wingmancrunchy2868 No it doesn't
@@qlder0284 hey bud I like the song, But we need to be a bit more accepting of all cultures these days. We adjusted the current anthem because of it
@@wingmancrunchy2868 “land of our birth” could also use some work, seeing as most anglos in this country were immigrants from the past century decades even.
God Bless from Great Britain.
Rnott rnott stay out dirty Brit
Most Australians hate Britain now. That's why they want to make Australia a republic, remove the Union Jack from the flag and end all British immigration.
@@halfmoon106 End all british immigration? 😂 Sure
@@manserk6531 It's already pretty much entirely ended and been replaced with Chinese and Indian immigration. Turnbull quietly cut British immigration by over 50%. Many British people have told me they're now being denied visas to move to Australia because the government wants Asians instead.
@@halfmoon106 Australia is technically a republic. Just because a monarch is head of state doesn't mean buggery. Your immigration point has no source and honestly, removing the Union Jack has become common. Do I support removing it? Gonna be honest, living half way across the world means I don't really give a shit. The current flag does have it's own iconicness and history, but to be honest, it really doesn't mean much these days. Even still, countries like Canada have changed their flag, and the current Canadian flag looks pretty cool. At the end of the day, it's an issue for the Australian people, so kindly don't bring it up as any kind of argument, because it makes you look stupid.
Unlike Advance Australia fair, this makes you feel something. Beautiful.
Same here.
This song feels more patriotic, despite my username, I'm actually Australian.
Exactly. Advance Australia has a sort of pompous quality and has never stuck with me. We say this at school in the 60's and I can still sing along.
Waltzing Matilda is perfect, maybe the words could be tweeked a little but this has always been the anthem for me the other felt like a very undemocratic imposition
@@honestdigger9876 I Checked as a Turk both anthems short, and as i said This anthem was better.
Are you serious? This is just Waltzing Matilda. Wow, Jack O'Hagan, really dropped the ball on this one. Mayeb the reason you feel something is more a Pavlovian response than a genuine emotional reaction. This song makes me feel ripped off. Perfect Australian feeling if you live in the bush and vote Nats.
Happy Australia Day! Got my citizenship yesterday, a day before Australia Day. So fitting, proud to call myself Aussie! God Bless Australia!
happy to have you
Thats great no matter what race people are always welcome
@@Iloveyomyom NO, Australia is a white nation.
Rocko 17 Australia is actually mainly desert and forest
@@rocko1721 Australia is literally an immigrant country . Whites immigrated to that place . They are not the native population of the Australian land . You can call Britian a white nation but you can't say that Australia's a white nation
This Australian song just about made this American shed tears. God bless America, & God Bless Australia! 🇺🇸🇦🇺
Btw this is better than the USA
how do americans make everything about themselves
@@spladoinkk I'm sorry, is it a crime to show my appreciation for a piece of art from another country?
@@dwarvenmoray you added your own. has nothing to do with america
@@spladoinkk Did I ever say it had anything to do with America?
Happy Australia Day and God Bless Australia ✝️🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺☦️
Not even religious but this would be a far better national anthem.
Nothing wrong with our current one but it's a bit uninspired. This is nice and patriotic 🇦🇺
Oh yeah. There should be a second proposal to make this the Australian National Anthem. I'd gladly sing this. Advance Australia Fair isn't the greatest anthem.
I mean, I agree that Advance Australia Fair does leave a bit to be desired but I still sing it with pride anyway.
Well, of course.
Δράκων nah i want down under as the anthem
Advance Australia Fair has decent lyrics (even though they contradict a lot of things the government does) but the tempo and rhythm are more like a funeral march, I don't associate it with "I'm proud to be Australian." I associate it more with "HOW MANY MORE F**KING SCHOOL ASSEMBLIES ARE WE GOING TO SIT THROUGH?! WHEN DO THEY END!?!?!?" I'm jealous of the countries with catchy anthems
This brings a tear to my eye every time I listen to this song.
This should be Australia’s anthem. It’s so beautiful.
It use to be our Anthem till the idiots decided to change it, I remember when it was the last thing on TV before the station shut down for the night.
@@krisb1357 it was never our official anthem. Before Advance Australia Fair, it was God Save the Queen. However yes, this should’ve been chosen over our current one
mate were not America@@drcrisp8538
Long Live The Commonwealth of Australia.
Speaking as an American, I think this would be a superb national anthem for Australia. Although, I also like the original lyrics to Waltzing Matilda.
Yeah but that's about a hobo stealing a sheep and hiding from the cops then he drowns himself so they don't get him. Not really a good national anthem is it.
@@Ben-ed4wx The Kingdom of France made their anthem about how King Henry IV of France was a good king, best at womanizing and loves wine.
@@Ben-ed4wx Mate that is the entirety of our national history right there. That's Aussie through and through. It's a great bloody anthem.
This is a much better anthem than our current one. I especially like the focus on freedom
If only we all shared the same feelings of our great southern land :GOD BLESS AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺
I remember this song in the late 1960's. I was given a 45" red plastic record in a paper cover with the words on the back. How I still wish I had that record today. Don't know what became of it and have no idea who was distributing it to the school I attended in Toowoomba, Qld. God Bless you Ian Berwirk. Thank you for making this video available!!!
The song of my country
If the anthem needs a change, I hope its to this piece
This is as good as god defend New Zealand.new Zealand and Australia are both great countries
G'day mate and I will send by Amazon
I live in ya
Kiara Thompson you said right
The only reason we hate nz is cause in sport but other than that then we are mates
The Australian Boy yeah lol it’s all rivalry and the pavlova debate. We always fight and bicker but trust me, If any country were to threaten NZ and I could go fight, I wouldn’t back down and neither would any of our amazing anzacs :’)
as an American I am proud to chant GOD BLESS AUSTRALIA at the top of my lungs for my family in Australia,Britain couldn't separate us forever
X Nuevo we are all the same people, even the Canadolts...
Jesus Christ mate, it's hardly separation. *American revolution was just tax evasion.* Also, Mr Edwards, Canadolts? Sure, their current prime minister is shit, but that's no call for that, if indeed we are all the same people.
Long live the anglosphere Australia, New Zealand, The United States of America, The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Canada.
@@billturner7363 Don't forget Ireland and South Africa. They might've gone their separate ways, but they're still part of the family.
@@billturner7363 The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Canada? I thought it was the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
NEW NATIONAL ANTHEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Such a pity that I've never heard of this hymn until now
Congratulations for your national holiday on 26th January Australia from your friends in Germany
GOD BLESS AUSTRALIA!
respect from gallipoli (turkey)
Kill Commies i think you can't try again.
Kill Commies we waiting.
Kill Commies himmm. i understand. you didn't get Lesson in 1915. but you can try again. if you try again, we gonna fuck you again.
Jesus Christ this went from wholesome to a nationalist circlejerk very quickly
Oof this turned ugly fast
You know we both fucked ourselves in that bloody war, right?
There was no winners in the gallipoli campaign, ANZAC killed the most but the ottomens pushed us out
And both sides fought a stupid war for nothing
Why isn't this the Australian national anthem
This would be better than advance Australia, greetings from Sydney!
Because the public will go crazy and bring aboriginals into the picture
Because Australia is a secular country that maintains a seperation between church and state. Thank god for that :P
Probably because it references God, and Australians hate Christians.
@@halfmoon106 According to the 2016 census Australia is majority Christian [52.1%] with an even greater majority believing in some god or assortment of gods; Islam, Hindi, Sikh et cetera [60.3%].
This never fails to bring tears to my eyes, goosebumps all over me and a swelling in my chest of pride. It should be our Anthem. God bless us all.
If I was the PM of my great nation of Australia, God Bless Australia would be our national anthem
Which is why you vote 1 united australia party.
Same, but I would also change the flag, Break ties with these countries (🇺🇸🇷🇺🇬🇷🇧🇬🇵🇭🇩🇿🇵🇸🇲🇦) And change the country to a dictatorship
@@kittycubeenterprises7276 Nice to see Bulgaria in that list.
@@kittycubeenterprises7276 why Albania😂
@@wanderingkernel5002 why United Australia party?
Happy Australia Day!!!
beautiful country Australia
In 1972, the local Ampol Service Station issued a Christmas club showbag for kids. The bag included a see through red 45rpm of “God Bless Australia”. The singer was Neil Williams A.K.A. The Jolly Swagman. I remember the crackly disk that was low quality but was quite moving. For some reason, it came to memory today, 52 years later. What a delight to hear it again after all these years but in good quality. (Love that bass!)
It is a reminder of what Australia was, and what we have lost.
May God bless Australia.
Thank you Australia. The more you bless other , the more God will you.God bless Australia
Petition to change this to the national anthem
God bless australia and its people. Love and support from Malaysia
🇲🇾🤝🏻🇦🇺
That needs to be a national anthem
I am a Brit German but with connections to Australia (my great great uncle Douglas Mawson) this song always makes me cry
I remember as a young boy this song and film clip was played on the TV every morning. I loved it then and now some 50 years later...l feel just as proud of this song.
The more you bless others the more God will bless you. God bless Australia
God Bless you all the Crocs and Cangaroos! Greetings from Poland
this should be the anthem
Proud to be Australian. 🇦🇺
Wanna change
I was just telling my little fella about this anthem that we used to sing at school after they stopped us singing God Save the Queen ( which I always liked as well).
An updated version of this should be our anthem don't ya reckon?
I have always disliked the current anthem as it just sounds...pompous? Not aussie anyhow despite the good sentiments. And the unknown second (or third) verse is all about rule Brittania for Cors sake!
The whole world knows and loves Waltzing Matilda. Bring her back I says :)
Treasure your british heritage but always remain Australian
Sir Coloniser spot on! Very proud to be of British descent and very proud to be an Aussie. I even speak the old lingo fluently, my oath I do 😀
@@DavidStewartLovegrove the correct pronunciation is, "My Oaf I do!" 😂
@@davidacobb1 😅
@@DavidStewartLovegrove Thats how I've always viewed it as well. I'm proud of my British roots but I'm always Australian first and English Second
I love Australia :)
Me too! Say did you hear about the young virgin Australian boy whom just got married and did not know what to do on his wedding night? When he went back to his house and carried his bride into the house she remarked that all the furniture was piled against the wall. She asked him" Why is all the furniture against the wall?" He answered "Well I saw how kangaroos do it!"
>macron
>destroying europe
he's doing the opposite lmao
God surely bless Australia
100% this should be our National Anthem when we get this beautiful country back on track , abolish the party system and install true parliamentary representatives to run our country this would be a wonderful anthem
the major parties are run by crooks out of touch with the average Australian

Now THIS is an anthem Australia deserves. It instills such pure pride to be an Aussie and declares our greatness for all to hear. Bring back Australian patriotism to the forefront.
This is a beautiful anthem with beautiful lyrics! Bring it back
All the best to Australia from Canada
Altough Advance Australian Fair is good. God Bless Australia or Waltzing Matilda gives more meaning and more detail to the history of Australia and being a patriot to it, It also gives more meaning to the love that Aussies give to their nation and other people living in the Commonwealth, I like the three But I Prefer This Or Waltzing Matilda.
God Bless Australia!
Here in this God given land of ours, Australia
This proud possession, our own piece of earth
That was built by our fathers, who pioneered our heritage,
Here in Australia, the land of our birth.
REFRAIN
God bless Australia, Our land Australia,
Home of defenders, the strong and the free
It's our homeland, our own land,
To cherish for eternity,
God bless Australia, The land of the free.
Here in Australia, we treasure love and liberty,
Our way of life, all for one, one for all
We're a peace loving race, but should danger ever threaten us,
Let the world know we will answer the call
REFRAIN
Our true anthem
I love a sun burnt country
A land of sweeping plains
And beer :D Good on ya
My national anthem.
WE SHOULD MAKE THIS THE ANTHEM WTF HOW HAVENT WE
RobCod2012 cos it says race, implying we are a unique people, the globalist elites don't want us remembering our great roots, that's why our current one is about the land and accepting everyone. not the people who built it
Steven Edwards In gods good time. The world will awaken once more to the threat at hand and retake it's national roots. We shall retake our history and our culture and in the end, become more stronger and better than before. We shall remember our fore fathers and their sacrifices in the great wars, We shall rescue our great land from all hostile threats outside our borders. We will prevail. We must survive. Australia must survive.
(I wanted to write something a little inspirational for ya, give me a rating on how I did and about those globalist 'elites', their power is waning quickly because regardless of how much money they have, they shall never conquer our national spirt which is waking up too quickly for their likings! :)
Solstron I needed a white pill dude, just being aware of the problem is pretty depressing, thanks man
@@kingbillycokebottle5484 Did you know that "Advance Australia Fair" literally means "Keep Australia White"? It's Old English. The "fair" is referring to fair-skinned people.
Count Dooku no in Victorian English it also meant healthy.
The fact that this was beaten out by Advance Australia Fair for our National Anthem never ceases to amaze and disappoint me.
advance australia fair is a good song, its just sung so poorly most of the time, watch Advance Australia Fair on the Grand Bogans channel for a good version of it
in the year 2021, this song makes me weep
Great song! Looking forward to visit my neighbour down south in the near future.
Greetings from Indonesia!
I love Australia 🇦🇺
When I listened to this, it touched my heart so much, I literally went into my back yard, laid down, hugged the ground and said "I love you Australia!"😂
BEST. COUNTRY. EVER!❤ I honestly don't know how we haven't won "The worlds most beautiful country" yet...
Dude I'm not even Australian but its like my most favorite country. If I could I would have also hugged Australia 😭
I'm American and this gave me chills
God bless u and australia
Why, is this not out anthem??
So beautiful
