Its Australia Day on the 26th Janurary.
Its Australia's national day, much like the 4th July in the US.
You are invited to become an honorary Aussie and participate by recording an Aussie tune and uploading it.
The three that I recorded are, The Wild Colonial Boy, Botany Bay, and our National Anthem 'Advance Australia Fair'
I've attached the music for the tunes that I posted for folks to use or, if you want something else, let me know and I'll try to find it for you.
BTW... the 26th is not the deadline... There isn't one 
I'd be stoked if some could join in 
Wild Colonial Boy
Botany Bay
Seen it all. Done it all. Can't remember most of 
..... What was I saying????

The first song that came to my mind was Waltzing Matilda.

Duane @HDuaneaz
Yes for most people it does
I posted it same time last year. May have to post it again. 12 months on I may be able to play it better
Naska @mad_wed
Botany Bay would be good. Fairly easy to learn and sounds good. Or you may like to try Waltzing Matilda.

Naska, I loved watching that video, having been to most of the places shown. I'm interested to see others in the world actually seeing it too.
I live next to the Great Barrier Reef, so I'm familiar with the coral, sea life and pods of frolicking dolphins.
Now if I only had the sheet music ... but I've at least learned something, the score was written by Bruce Woodley of Seekers fame. I used to love listening to them, and most of the scores I've seen coming from them are very musical, not just for vocals.
I'm currently working on 'Click Go The Shears' ... we'll see if it's up to scratch for video.
If you think you can, or you think you can't, you're probably right.

Thank you. I enjoyed it.
I visited Darwin in the mid 80s. My submarine anchored in the harbor. It was a nice visit.

Great. Have never been to Darwin myself. But I'll be passing through there in April on my way to the Philippines. Have to go to a wedding

I need to learn how to add pictures to the video. I had this one all picked out but can't figure out how to put it on the video. But why is the flag red in the poster?

@Schaick
Thanks for the post mate. I enjoyed it very much. And no, you didn't destroy it
I appreciate you taking the time to do it
The flag is red in that pic because it's the British naval ensign. The Australian naval ensign is the same with white stars (Southern Cross constellation) like our blue national flag. So the red ones are for naval use only.

@ Ferret: And I read yesterday that there is talk about changing the design of the Australian flag in order to sever tie's with England. The people still want to look up to and regard England as the mother country in all respects.
What are your thought's on the possible change, John.
Ken.
Awesome videos, guys! Enjoyed them today very much =)
"Waltzing Matilda" is a beauty! Thanks, Ferret!

Yes Ken, this is something that comes up from time to time. It's been talked about for many a decade.
