@@karenglenn6707 Now that's what I like to hear! I first came to Australia in the late 70's and left around about 1984.. but also returned a few times after. Great music, great good, great people.. I went to the UK in '82 and they asked what I was doing in Oz, like I had told them I was in Timbuktu. I weighed up the differences between the UK and Oz and went straight back to Oz.

There is a lot of love for the Seekers, "I Am Australian". While this song, (Great Southern Land) uses video to show off the various landscapes (from camels to snow... We have more wild camels than Saudi Arabia, and more snow than Switzerland!!), the song I Am Australia talks of how some people became Australia. And, it is a great song by a very talented band. So yes, I am adding my name to the requests for that one.

Icehouse are a class act, and Iva Davies is a brilliant artist. Absolutely world class! We had a guy in Australia named Peter Allen. He married Liza Minelli when he was on his way up in America. They divorced and he lived the rest of his life as a gay man (not open about his sexuality). Sadly, he passed away at age 48 in 1992 due to AIDS related illness. What he did leave was a great catalogue of music - his signature being ''I Still Call Australia Home''. I don't know how well a song like that would wash off in the rest of the world, but over here it's a treasure. Happy Australia Day. 🦘

Hi guys you should know we also have plenty of snow tobogganing in Australia too. Look up the video “top 5 ski resorts in Australia”, it will blow your mind! Of course we pale in comparison to Canada but still! I’ve skied in Banff and Lake Louise in Canada - lived in Oregon for a while so skiied their mountains too. Also skiied in Switzerland and NZ. We have amazing world class ski resorts here in Australia- but we just don’t have the powder you find in North America, Europe, NZ and Japan. Our snow is a bit on the icy side! My son goes sand tobogganing sometimes, it does look fun!

My Brother and I couldn't wait for them to finish and we carried on burning in the incredible Summer sun. Luckily the next band was The Beat and they were amazing. Oh, and a certain DB was astonishing. What a day! Apart from Icehouse of course.

@@hanierfamily Those requests are part of an accumulation from your previous reactions to Icehouse. ''Great Southern Land'' is part of Icehouse's chart achievements in Australia. There is a reason why many of us wanted you to react to either ''I Am Australian'' and ''I Still Call Australia Home''. Those songs are a call for national pride, which is something we could do with. Australia Day has been cancelled in the major cities of Australia, including my city of Melbourne. The government and media are keen to give it a rebranding: 'invasion day'. ''True Blue'', ''Treaty'' and ''Great Southern Land'' are not songs that call for national pride, nor do they carry the sentiment of ''I Am Australian'' and ''I Still Call Australia Home''. It's fine to do Canadian Content or some lesser known song by some UK or US band. That isn't where the annoyance stems from. The annoyance stems from you often ignoring songs that are in demand, or as Eve put it; heed a request made by a few. The reason why you end up reading a long list of names is because you allowed a song that's in demand sit for too long. The least you can do is tell those that are keen that they'll have to wait.

@@babyboomer6372 I think ''Treaty'' and ''True Blue'' are songs that have a special place in Australian culture. But there is something endearingly special about ''I Still Call Australia Home'', and ''I Am Australian'' might one day become our national anthem. They just didn't heed the demand, which they really should... Give the people what they want; don't just go chasing what's cool to appease a few... Referring to the view count on their reactions today

''Losing You'' by Sharon O'Neill this week? The song has nothing to do with Peter Allen or The Seekers, so you should be right!

It's true that most of the Australian population live within 80 to 100 kms of the coast, especially the east coast. Isn't Canada similar where a lot of the population live in the southern part therefore close to the US border?

I suppose kind of. 60% of Canadians live in either Ontario or Quebec. But it's not quite the same.

I don't know their modus operandi, but that could have something to do with not having a strong commitment to this channel. Certain commenters turned me off coming here by spoiling the vibe of the community. I only check in once in a while, because I don't like sharing forum space with nasty types - not necessarily with our hosts, but particular commenters. I was shocked by the comments on their reaction to The Tourists' ''Don't Say I Told You So'' and the objection against that Countdown 50th.

All the requested songs are added to our list and will be reacted to at some point. We picked the most requested song for Australia Day. We're sorry if it wasn't what you wanted. It's not easy to please everyone.

Did you realise what the song words said obviously not. It’s about the take over of the aboriginals from the first settlers.
