It would come as no surprise to most of my Aussie readers that I am a huge long-time Midnight Oil fan (despite Peter Garrett - in my opionion - having a disappointing start to his appointment as federal Environment Minister). And yes, I really am that old.
So, on Australia Day, here is the video clip of one of my most favourite Midnight Oil songs, complete with it's backdrop of iconic Aussie landscapes. Brings a patriotic tear to my eye every time, it does ;-) Turn the volume up and enjoy the scenery!

We had such high hopes for Garrett. Now it's like he's been muzzled.
Still love Midnight Oil though. (And the cool change - it is actually cloudy at our place at the moment and the quilt was on the bed last night!)

I love midnight oil too.
Thankyou..Enjoyed that. Happy Australia Day!
Thanks Julie, Happy Australia Day to you too (one day late).
Happy Australia Day!
This one always gets me:
Beneath the Southern Cross I stand,
Sprig of wattle in my hand.
A native in my native land. Australia, you bloody beauty.
Never been a big Midnight Oil fan, must be why I don't recall ever hearing this song. I really do like it, thanks.
But you are right, I had thought there would be some real changes with Peter Garrett's appointment as well.
