Yeah, we are a bit weird here. There was a time that our country decided we needed a new national anthem. It was at the time God Save The Queen. We sang it as kids when I was in primary school. Anywho, the day came that they reckoned we needed an Aussie one. So was polls and stuff. That song Waltzing Matilda was one of them in the mix, and not obscure, right up there.
Walzting Matilda is about a sheep theif who evaded the police, but he did eat it before, edit because, he was hungry.
We are consistent though because our national hero is Ned Kelly.
The original robot.

There are towns that the tourism revolves around Ned.
I see a Ned Kelly sticker on a cars back window easy 3 times a week.
We even have a Ned Kelly Aussie bourbon now.

Admittedly its rubbish, I tried it.
Once Mick Jagger played him in a movie, how dumb. Why


Heath Ledger was way better. But with Orlando Bloom? Seriously? We have heaps better serious actors that make his entry look stupid. I think it was just to draw in overseas viewers. He's just a whimp. Like in Troy.
