Do you know that the opening of their anthemn often sounds like they're singing

"Australians all love ostriches"

Sing it that way once and you'll never get it out of your head...

Actually, I much prefer singing the words of 'Advance Australia Fair' to the tune of the Gilligan's Island theme.

Try it. You'll never go back. *grin*
