The Seekers & Judith Durham - I am Australian Waltzing Matilda

[@mickz8369]

We have lost the greatest female voice Australia has ever produced.....thank you Judith for all the joy you bought me.

[@frankscivier4874]

For me we haven’t just “lost the greatest voice Australia has ever produced”. In my opinion we’ve lost the greatest and most beautiful female voice the world has ever produced. Some of her recordings I find so movingly wonderful that I get tears in my eyes listening to her. No other singer has ever had that effect on me and if you read the reviews of other people I am not the only one!.

[@Peter-tu1qp]

Well sed Mick. R.I.P. Judith Durham. Gone but certainli never will b 4gotten

[@Ellen32753]

YOu have. BUT you had her for awhile.

[@vic5828]

How sad. I didn't know until just now that she had passed. I love her songs and music. I listen to it regularly in my car on the way to and from work. R.I.P. Judith. You may be gone but NEVER forgotten.

[@alansiegel9417]

got that right.....I heard them first in the mid 60's....loved them ever since. Sad day

RIP Judith Durham, the voice of an angel that will never die

[@kevinquirke1340]

So true

[@agnostic47]

RIP Judith Durham. One of the most beautiful and distinctive voices ever,

[@SuzyQ334]

Interestingly, us Brits appreciated her a lot more than her fellow Australians who couldn't be arsed to report her death. Luckily for Judith, us Brits adored her and we still mourn her. She was lovely.

Judith Durham had the voice of an angel. RIP beautiful lady. 1943- 2022.❤

[@hotxi1]

Totally agree. Judith Durham was an angel. His legacy is for us. Because a better world is possible. We will never forget his voice and everything he left us. ❤

[@michaelbowe8324]

So sad to hear today that Judith Durham has passed away aged 79. She was a marvelous singer and will be sadly missed by millions of her fans.

[@majorpygge-phartt2643]

Has she really gone? That's the news I've been dreading for years, I knew it was only a matter of time. I'm going to miss her forever, she had the voice of an angel. truly heaven sent, and she sure looked just like an angel too. Did she have any descendants?

[@michaelbowe8324]

@@majorpygge-phartt2643 Yes, Judith has a sister called Beverley Sheehan who is also a singer and is now 81 years old. I know that Judith was born in Essendon in Melbourne, which as it happens is my Australian Rules Football team. Nicknamed "The Bombers". Judith's husband sadly died in 1994. There was a great programme on TV here in the UK about her life and how she got together with the rest of the Seekers. They had 2 No 1 hits here in the UK and many other top 5 hits. Their first No 1 hit in UK in Jan 1965 was "I'll never find another you" and in October 1965 "The Carnival is over" was also a No 1 hit here.

She gave us special angelic music. Least we ever forget, when she sings this song I am Australian for that moment in time. Thanx judith.

[@frankscivier4874]

A number of reviewers have written that this song should be made Australia’s national anthem. I COULDN’T POSSIBLY AGREE MORE!. It’s an absolutely wonderful song and it would also be a fitting tribute to The Seekers and the late Judith Durham who had the most stunningly beautiful voice that I ever heard in my life.

[@sydneymartin6941]

When I 1st heard this song as a new Australian I cried and cried. I came from Zimbabwe - we were definitely not “one” and as a child it was heartbreaking. This song still makes me cry. RIP a legend 🙏🙏🙏🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@vnlpat001]

I am here in South Africa. I have recently obtained my Permanent Resident visa to Australia. Actually about to do the first entry requirement within the first year of obtaining it. But just staying a month. My heart still can't "give the towel in". I'm still fighting to believe my country can recover from the state it is in right now but it doesn't look good. It's basically on life support to put it bluntly. This song makes me cry because for me it represents the death of my country since it'll be a song of "my new country". Its strange but we all have differing experiences when we leave Africa (if I do). But apart from that this is a great song and singer!

[@peterhatch6242]

We're no longer "one" in Australia, either.

I've loved Judy and the Seekers since the 60s. I love this song, and would like to sing this song this way .... I am, You are, we are American.... We need that here in the States right now. I envy the wonderful Australian people. Every one of them. I always wanted to visit. but too old now for that 16 hour flight. Our son and three of his fellow young California firefighters spent eight weeks working fires and traveling Australia. They all of course fell in love with the culture, the people and yes a few beautiful ladies, and didn't want to come home. But of course they did, with incredible memories. My son mentioned one restaurant where they wouldn't let the pay for the dinner. And the owner even came out to their truck with a box of food. What a great experience. Rest in peace Judith.

[@vnlpat001]

South Africa here but this song rings something deep inside (usually only songs associated with my country do). Been to Australia 3 times - the last time was the first on my Permanent Resident visa for the country - in August 2022. Over 200000 of us live in Australia. We are very divided when expats describe ourselves. Some people say they no longer associated with South Africa and they are fully part of the countries they now in. Others remain South African in their hearts and souls and practice our cultures in our own homes but we do assimilate when it comes to associating with Australians. Myself - I will be moving to Australia in 2 or so years but I will always be South African in my heart and soul. My country gave me life and good memories. It's simply who I am. Therefore I'd be a South African living in Australia but I find (even on my 3 short visits) it VERY EASY to assimilate outside. On a personal note - this song also kind of gives me tears because kind of also represents the "lifeboat" out of South Africa because if one were to follow our news we are not doing well and whether our country will survive the next decade or so remains to be seen..............
