Song from Australia
I recently went on a backpacking trip to Australia. While i was out there i heard a song called i still call Australia my home. It features on the Qantas advert out there. I was just wondering if anyone had heard it and knows where i might be able to listen to this song.
It's a long shot i know.

Australians seem to either love the song for it's patriotism, or hate it for the same reason, with it's echoes of americanisation over-sentimentality.
You'll find Allen's recording of it on The Very Best of Peter Allen (The Boy From Down Under) on the Hip-O Records label.
