THE SEEKERS ~ I AM AUSTRALIAN 🦘️

[@donitabell3877]

Wow! So well done with the 40,000 year history of the original inhabitants to the variety of people's who became Australians touched my heart to tears. Especially Judith Durham's strong but elegant voice with The Seekers, a perfect choice for this song. I love the beauty of variety in nature and peoples. Thank you, Doug, for deeming these additional songs worthy in paying homage to your country. So good!

[@NeilDiamondCentral]

Thank you so very much Donita. Your words tugged at my heartstrings so much so I had goosebumps. Approximately 20 years after this song was composed Bruce Woodley and Dobe Newton, antropologists discovered that Aboroginies were actually here some 65,000 years! Here is another Australian song that gets me teary and goosebumps - 'I Was Only Nineteen' - kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3inma2MnpaVp7c Please read the notes. You may find certain words/terms difficult to comprehend. ... and another - 'The Band Played Waltzing Matilda' (Gallipoli, Turkey) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZ-pq3ajdt6Cppo Again, tears and goosebumps.

Judith Durham, born Judith Mavis Cock, July 3, 1949 - August 5, 2022 (age 79) - My heart awakened in the 1960s when I first heard The Seekers, with Judith at the vocal helm, sing "I'll Never Find Another You" and "Morningtown Ride" - and several decades later, "I Am Australian". How can I be sad? God shared an angel with us for 79 years! Thank You, God, for the wonder of Judith's heart and voice! She was born with asthma and at age four she caught measles, which left her with a life-long chronic lung disease, bronchiectasis. Surely her reunion in Heaven with Ron (Edgeworth, who had ALS aka Lou Gehrig's disease, returned to Heaven on December 10, 1994) was full of love and joy eternal! ❤ kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIe4hmlujZt5a8k

[@krisushi1]

I'm afraid that this song represents the history of Australia only. New Zealand has its own history of which it would be very proud. We are two separate countries, so having the same National Anthem that only represents one is quite unfair. I would dearly love it to be our Australian anthem though, as it incorporates many stories that relates to our pasts.🇦🇺💖

By contrast, people in the US can_ _choose from a broader range of media controlled by a bigger pool of firms.

@@NeilDiamondCentral You are actually very wrong. In the not too distant future the white hats are going to stage a series of scare/near death experiences to wake you normies up. By normies, I mean mind controlled, not awake. We have been in a 1000 year biblical and galactic war that has been coming to an end thanks to Trump and the white hats. COVID was a scam from day 1. We have been prisoners-slaves of the elite. They wanted to depopulate to 500 million and get rid of billions with the jabs. They have succeeded to some extent. By the way, the medical doctors and nurses get their orders from CEO's who are cabal. Cabal is Illuminati. Illuminati are the Khazarian Mafia. Too long a story to go into but let's just say they ran the world. They established the UN and the WHO and NASA and the CIA and the FBI ... to name a few. WHO is run by the UN. Look up Operation Paperclip - the nazi scientists that fled Europe and escaped into America with the help of Rockefeller. That included Mengele who is related to Fauci. Your wonderful doctors know they are administering deadly cocktails to their patients but they are at odds. Either resign and keep your conscience in tact, or kill your patients with jabs of graphene oxide and aluminium (to name two things) and keep your jobs so you can pay off your hex debt to the universities that are funded by the cabal too. The so called medical experts are being rounded up and will go to trial like all the other cabal (freemasons) - think WW2. Think Nuremburg.

[@stevewilliams3850]

Today is Saturday, August 3, 2019. I'd never listened to this song until the first of this week. I've been seeing "thumbnails" for it on KZbin for quite some time, but I've never clipped on any of them until around the first of this week. I don't know why I never have clipped on them; but I just never have been curious about them. But around the first of this week, I said to myself, "Oh what the hell?" I'd just never been curious about clicking on any of them. I'd never heard the song before. Well, around the first of this week, like I said earlier, "What the hell?" And I clicked on one of these thumbnails for this song. Personally, I believe this should be Australia's National Anthem. I believe that if enough of the people of Australia want this song to be there National Anthem, they can get it done. I've always loved Waltzing Matilda" and still do, but I think this beats "Waltzing Matilda". I've already listened to this song at least a dozen times this week. I just love this song.

Strange coincidence. When I was 24 year old I had all documents ready for leaving Italy forever and start a new adventure in Australia. In my mind it was already my new Country , but my father died and the family asked me to stay with my mother.... I'm 69 now and I know that it wasn't the right decision. I spent some years in the States but I never left Italy forever. The funny think is that following Neil Diamond career on newspapers , television and networks I find as my favorite website just you and after few time I realized you are Australian...... The past come back.

Thanks for your comments Nadia, most interesting. As a matter of interest, where would you have settled? In Perth? So glad that you have found our website and that you love it. If you haven't already done so, please visit our Treasured Memories page - www.neildiamondcentral.com/treasured-memories We would welcome a Neil Diamond related story or two from you. I will drop you a line (e-mail) soon rather than communicate on this public forum about your plans to settle in Australia. Best wishes, Doug

@@NeilDiamondCentral I had some friends in Hobart but the idea was to move on the continent later. About the Seekers I discovered them late but I like their music is easy and relaxing.

My father left Italy for my mother when he was 22. He went to New Zealand and now we have lived in Australia for 15 years. You did a good thing for your family, he was the only one who left, his home town is Massafra in Puglia. You're Australian if you have it in your heart. It's not like NZ or America it is such a different place

I'm french ,I have to listen this song for my homework, why the seekers have done this song, Can you help me?

[@NeilDiamondCentral]

Hi Adrien, thanks for your query. Australia, like the United States of America, is a country of immigrants. This song encapsulates our Australian history and way of life; how we come to be who we are... a multicultural nation. Please click on the SHOW MORE link beneath this video for notes and lyrics. Bruce Woodley is was one of the members of The Seekers. This song is so loved that many Australians would in fact wish it were our national anthem. Here is a link to Wikipedia - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_Australian Here is another Australian song - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYuleqSbh7h-pcU Once again, do click on the SHOW MORE link beneath this video. Good luck with you homework. Would love to hear how you go. Best wishes, Doug
