for we are young and free;
we've golden soil and wealth for toil,
our home is girt by sea;
our land abounds in Nature's gifts
of beauty rich and rare;
in history's page, let every stage
advance australia fair!
in joyful strains then let us sing,
"advance australia fair!"
beneath our radiant southern cross,
we'll toil with hearts and hands;
to make this commonwealth of ours
renowned of all the lands;
for those who've come across the seas
we've boundless plains to share;
with courage let us all combine
to advance Australia fair.

last night dannii, cody, chad, doug and i hit up the australia day fireworks in kings park (yes, we braved it and walked there from my work.) i still haven't decided whether or not it was worth the walk, but as always it was a spectacular show!!
i am so proud to be an australian, and especially on australia day...
there's quite simply no where i'd rather be! :)
