Some of the favourites are songs like I Still Call Australia Home.Marghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508430635744720721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-32143785949420895132011-01-26T17:41:20.723+11:002011-01-26T17:41:20.723+11:00Happy Australia Day, Marq.

They just have Greek songs. <br /><br />Happy Australia Day (belated now)Bethhttp://libraryfrog.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-46070354041687884212011-01-26T14:18:19.341+11:002011-01-26T14:18:19.341+11:00I Still Call Australia Home makes me tear up every...I Still Call Australia Home makes me tear up every time.

The 'flood and fire and famine' is quite relevant at the moment...<br /><br />My favourite Aussie song (don't have a poem, sorry) is I Still Call Australia home. I get all misty eyed when they play it on Qantas on flights home (even though I don't love Qantas)!<br /><br />Have a good Australia Day!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
