Happy 4th of July
Perhaps not so strangely, now that I don't live in the U.S., the Fourth of July just sliiiides on past, without me noticing it.
This isn't the Australian national anthem, but maybe it should be: it's "Home Among the Gum Trees", by John Williamson -- an Australian folk singer (or maybe country? dunno). Not to be confused with John Williams, the classical music guy.
His Anthems album is full of songs about Australia, and "Home Among the Gum Trees" is on it. (Actually, it's probably on all of his compilations...) A good song. (Just click the little "play" button in the bottom left of your screen.)
