I still call australia home - Peter Allen

I still call australia home - Peter Allen, Theme song for remembrance of English Camp @Sydney Australia, KUS-MP, Chonburi, Thailand. OCT. 2009. All photo taken during my after school city tour.

[@jblvxk]

This song is a true Australian masterpiece. Peter Allen so talented!!

[@bvheath]

A U.S. citizen, I visited Australia in 1990. I hope to get back. If not, though, your lovely country will stay with me always.

[@clareomeara4887]

Lived in Oz for my 1st 16 yrs I'm now 53 living in the states... and I still call Australia home.. love this song❤

[@stevebond7357]

I'm an Aussie living overseas, have this song as my ringtone, I cry every time the phone rings

[@AutoClay]

Steve Bond I’m living in Germany, and I miss home a lot. I’ve travelled and Australia is still home to me, always will be. Best place on earth.

[@renartaazzopardi5985]

Steve Bond ohh that’s so sad , but proud of being Aussie 🇦🇺

[@hanoitripper1809]

How can i get it as my ringtone

[@kiwidev9320]

🤣🤣🤣why

[@amandasauer4486]

I’ve now lived in the UK as long as I lived in Australia. But I will ALWAYS refer to Melbourne as ‘home’......

[@luziferlindemannvonstrombe6495]

I lived in America for 10 years and in that time I was terribly homesick for Australia........this song got me through the hard times

[@zomboy28]

Just got back from 20 yrs in Sydney and oh this song sums it all up still call Australia home

[@ericorschullock1455]

I'm not Australian but I have been there and it is a beautiful country so when I listen to this song I just want to go there again.....if only!!!

[@slpytech]

I cry every time I hear this song, being a loyal Aussie living abroad, and especially when I hear it as it is played as the plane is decending into Australian airspace for landing (used to be on Qantas). This Aussie may be living abroad, but you will never take the Aussie out of her!

[@thelibrarian894]

I know what you mean. Nothing beats listening to this song as your coming into Australia wherever your plane lands.

[@jandawkins9386]

What would we do without Peter Allen's legacy of iconic Australian songs. Both , I still call Australia Home and Tenterfield Saddler bring tears to my eyes . Thank you Peter

[@_the_pistol_spinner_3310]

this song makes me proud of being Australian

[@dylanworsham4906]

Im an American and i can tell you that Waltzing Matilda is 100% Australian and not American. Even if my fellow countrymen claim the rights to it.

[@ngdukic]

Gives us chills doesn't it. I heard a group of Aussies singing this at Oktoberfest in Munich in 1994 and I don't mind admitting I bawled my eyes out. I couldn't even join in with them. I'd never felt more homesick in my life.

[@Pocket.Maai.57]

I cry everytime I listen to this song and tell myself, let’s go home, no matter where I am.

[@hanoitripper1809]

Flyin home on the bird after 2 years away aged 22, Aussie accents of the flight gals, the pilot tilts the plane as we pass Ayers rock over the red centre so we all can see... and this song plays on the radio. View of the beaches 🏖 before we touch down.. bloody brilliant 🎉! forever home I will always 💓 🇦🇺 🦘 🐨 💓 🇦🇺

[@beytala8554]

Just love this song how proud does it make you feel?

[@chicchettofra]

australia miss u...i was in sydney 2 months ago at xmas and new year 2011\2012...my heart is still there...

[@minkqeetan6003]

the real aussie national anthem, it is! ...never fails to choke me whenever i hear this song, especially when sung by peter allen! ..RIP, peter ..

[@sarahjames5638]

Proud Brumby riding Aussie here, brilliant song.

[@heidiheisele8608]

Came back from a holiday once and thought of this song, brings so much pride

[@renartaazzopardi5985]

Love it🇦🇺 proud to be Aussie 🐨🦘

[@Blackhawk2363]

I'm an Aussie currently living in Venezuela. I loved this song before but I guess I appreciate it more now that I am travelling around and it will be a long while before I return to Australia. Thanks for posting this!!

[@nessiepants22]

living in england for year and this song still gets me teary

[@jamesfraser4205]

There is no place in the world like Australia♥️

[@nibberdestroyer692]

you dont wanna be in australia rn

[@SuperSaiyanGamerDBZ]

In a few days I will be leaving my beloved Australia to go on an overseas adventure. It'll be so much fun but my heart will always lead me back home to my home, Australia. Eventually I'll return and I'll remember everything that happened over the course of my adventure and how great it is that I made it home

[@dhenderson1810]

I am watching this on Australia Day, 2020.

[@hoorootv1]

Far more emotional & patriotic than "Advance Australia Fair " & far more appropriate than " Waltzing Matilda " as a national anthem. We need to recognise this Peter Allen masterpiece as our next national anthem when the Queen passes away.

[@FromBosToOz]

I love Australia so much! It's perfect. PERFECT!

[@naoyuki1987oct18th]

I like it! It really reminds me of the 16years I spent in Australia! I really miss Sydney.

[@EclecticHillbilly]

I'm not Australian and have never been there but there's nothing like a song about love of home.

[@tsj663]

miss u Australia, never been.there again since 2015

[@Steiner9975]

I am a Korean. I stayed in Sydney from 2004 to 2005 with working for an Aussie game company. I still have lots of memories in there and still call AUS home!

[@patcerra6714]

Great song which still gets me in the heart and should be our national anthem but hey Australia is not just bloody sydney!!! From a proud Australian not living in Sydney

[@hhhbestfan]

Cant Believe that in 5 months i will be moving down to the down under. Such a Amazing country and cant wait to call it home.

[@valcollins1225]

Just watch peterAllan life story what aI love this song Perter rest in peace god bless him amen

[@rjoteach]

I heard this song at the end of the Oprah Show today! How beautiful! It was moving, to say the least.This is coming from a Bostonian,.. (Boston, MA, USA) I was surprised that it's not their national anthem. :)

[@LukeHarris1]

Happy Australia Day 2017!

[@finaus15]

Its a shame most of us take it for granted where we live ,its a truely marvelous place.

[@evonsoulos4218]

Im living in Greece born and bred in Sydney im crying love you Sydney ♥️💜💚🧡🌹💙💓🙏

[@tina123470]

I still call Australia home, although it's not my home, but I always miss Sydney, where my sons live with his wife.....See you again Sydney!

[@villiersman951]

good on ya peter!!!!!!

[@tylerfinszter4518]

Love this song so so so much

[@robbo123a]

@vicweb1978 The reason he is singing with an American Accent is that for work reasons Peter Allen live most of his adult life in the USA, so naturally he picked up the accent. Peter constantly visited Australia where he grew up in Tenerfield in NSW. He was proud of being an Aussie and he never hid that fact. The whole point of the song is to tell people that no matter where you end up living or working Australia is always special in your heart.

[@roseanne74]

I challenge anyone to listen to this song tomorrow (Australia Day) while thinking about the floods in QLD and VIC and NOT get teary!! I got teary when I heard Hugh et al singing it at the Oprah finale on Sunday night.

[@gregclarke7130]

Iconic song. Brilliant

[@kingaroydrover]

Beautiful song :)

[@gman83090]

Qantas the spirit of Australia I love Australia and I can’t wait until restrictions are lifted I am very proud of the country that I live in I love Australia and we are all very lucky that we live in such a good country I’ve been over to Thailand and over in Thailand a person with a disability doesn’t get treated as well as a person with a disability in Australia you know we are all very lucky that we are Australian but the best thing with living in Australia we are very multiculturalAfter I travel and I come back to Melbourne after an international flight I get emotional because I am so proud of the country that I live in I cry because I will look at my passport and I think my god I’m so proud of my country that I live in I’ll never give up my Australian passport I will never give up the coat of Arms of Australia I’ll never give up the emu and the kangaroo that’s on my passport I am very lucky that I’m Australian and we are all very lucky that we are all Australian

[@nick4alex123]

so beautiful...i love this song so much..i love my beautiful home "AUSTRALIA"

[@LILYWANNAROCK]

Has anyone realised that there is more than one city in Australia. I live in Australia, it is a beautiful country and I wouldn't just put a whole lot of pictures of Sydney if I made a version of this. Peter Allen wasn't just talking about Sydney, some day we'll cometogether once more, all the people int he cities, towns and from the outback.

[@genejohnson5530]

A Australian anthem

[@guruofpiano]

Awesome!! I enjoyed this very much my friend.. All the best and thumbs up. G.

[@rogelenetan3367]

Some ausie guy who has his mustache fly away recommended this to me. Sounds nice. 😁

[@BlossomFlowerGirl]

It's a pity all the pictures are of Sydney and surrounds, Australia is so much more - not just a city. It's the towns, the bush, the outback, the sands, surf and blinding hot sun, the eucalyptus fragrant with aroma on a summer's day, the Rock and of course our native animals - Skippy, Blinky Bill, Cockatoo, Kookaburra, and of course - the bunyip. This is what Peter Allen would have been singing and writing about. Great man our Peter, there'll not be another like him.

[@jamiecartel9483]

Who wrote this is a genius

[@timhansen6267]

Great photos, mate.

[@stevepepper]

@rjoteach Yes this is a beautiful song. i'm australian & this song is inspiring to say the least. But the lyrics are applicable to anybody wherever their home is. wherever u go there's no place like home. steve.

[@Lefferable]

Why isn't this the national anthem?!

[@kathybrown579]

+Lefferable ...don't worry it is a national anthem to many, and I've travelled overseas and come home and the wheels of the aircraft have touched Australia and this song has been in my mind and a tear has formed

[@ErinEvans1]

Came back from overseas last week and was thinking about this song and singing it under my breath. Got a tear myself. Such a rich and powerful song.

[@3pleLL]

I think because some countries are mentioned. I can't wait to see Australia very soon

[@nutsaboutbali]

its is in a way, to me it is as well as I am Australian

[@nutsaboutbali]

yeah i love traveling but once you come into sydney and see it all this song rings in my ears

[@austopinion4388]

Why are there only pics of Sydney.

[@Luubelaar]

+Aust Opinion It quite clearly states in the description. "Theme song for remembrance of English Camp @Sydney Australia" and "All photo taken during my after school city tour."

[@emohruo7996]

It the Iconic most people overseas recognize the bridge and the opera house not the Yarra river

[@dhenderson1810]

People overseas know about the MCG, though.

[@Luke1234scooter]

over kill with the city of sydney opera house

[@foggy223334]

So true. The song is I still call Australia Home, not sydney. There is so much to celebrate about our amazing country in all of the states and cities.

[@rjoteach]

@ stevepepper, Thank you for your response. It's so true! This song can be applied to anyone, anywhere they reside. :)

[@combourgkid7338]

Brilliant song! Curious to know who wrote which first, Billy Joel with New York state of mind or Mr Allen with this, both so similar and both great!

[@lily2000P]

oh boy mate,,,,,,,,,,, i wish i could see him

[@craiggo31]

I hope folk's watching this clip realise there is more than one city in Australia other than Sydney, hmm.

[@syedahmad8441]

Happy Australia Day

[@lancearn7332]

You should rename this video. ''I Still Call Sydney and Canberra Home'' Anyone watching this video would think they are the only two towns in Australia.

[@brettwalsh8369]

this is what australia is all about

[@mjames4709]

Why only Sydney pictures????

[@al2307]

I feel like you are family.... I am more hopeful. 💗

[@Super777300ER]

It's pretty obvious that he was on a tour around the Harbour - so please be nice!

[@Iggywiggywoo]

I’d rather this was the national anthem than Advance Australia Fair.

[@traceyd7]

@hhhbestfan Welcome, darls!

[@greghenley3197]

You are not an Aussie if you are don't love it this way song

[@oddsocks6943]

Agree Melb is better than Sydney, but if you read the bio then you'll see that the person took all these photos on a camp and that's why it's all Sydney.

[@ChibiJade197]

@MsAussie83 You can come over anytime mate :) we'll save ya a seat

Why can’t this be my lockdown music not a girl singing it in a high and creepy pitch!?!?

[@lachieevertbelfield1502]

Sydney can't dominate everything - Melbourne is most liveable and Canberra is capital. Plus, Melbourne was capital before Canberra, not Sydney. Every Aussie capital is great.

[@emohruo7996]

Sydney is the birth place of Australia Hobart and Freemantle came before Melbourne

[@mickkennedy1344]

Make this Australia's National anthem -- and create a new flag without the disgusting Union Jack (The Butcher's Apron) in it. Happy Australia Day, mates.!!

[@crownlagerforme9082]

Why haven't the Labour and the Greens and Malcolm Rudd band this song shame shame shame .

[@vicweb1978]

wtf is he singing in an American accent for!? Talk about inappropriate. Where's Missy Higgins when you need her?
