The whole "Primitive Man" album is a pure masterpiece. Maybe one of my Top 5 albums all time. And "Great Southren Land" is my favorite song on it despite "Street Cafe" and "Hey Little Girl".

I have - I did - and I can remember exactly when I first heard this monolith of a song that should be our national anthem! I have never tired of listening to it. Iva Davies is one of Australia’s most iconic music heroes. He deserves far more recognition than he ever got!
