I’ve now lived in the UK as long as I lived in Australia. But I will ALWAYS refer to Melbourne as ‘home’......

This song is a true Australian masterpiece. Peter Allen so talented!!

A U.S. citizen, I visited Australia in 1990. I hope to get back. If not, though, your lovely country will stay with me always.

Just got back from 20 yrs in Sydney and oh this song sums it all up still call Australia home

I lived in America for 10 years and in that time I was terribly homesick for Australia........this song got me through the hard times

this song makes me proud of being Australian

Gives us chills doesn't it. I heard a group of Aussies singing this at Oktoberfest in Munich in 1994 and I don't mind admitting I bawled my eyes out. I couldn't even join in with them. I'd never felt more homesick in my life.

Just love this song how proud does it make you feel?

Lived in Oz for my 1st 16 yrs I'm now 53 living in the states... and I still call Australia home.. love this song❤

I'm not Australian but I have been there and it is a beautiful country so when I listen to this song I just want to go there again.....if only!!!

I cry every time I hear this song, being a loyal Aussie living abroad, and especially when I hear it as it is played as the plane is decending into Australian airspace for landing (used to be on Qantas). This Aussie may be living abroad, but you will never take the Aussie out of her!

I know what you mean. Nothing beats listening to this song as your coming into Australia wherever your plane lands.

australia miss u...i was in sydney 2 months ago at xmas and new year 2011\2012...my heart is still there...

What would we do without Peter Allen's legacy of iconic Australian songs. Both , I still call Australia Home and Tenterfield Saddler bring tears to my eyes . Thank you Peter

the real aussie national anthem, it is! ...never fails to choke me whenever i hear this song, especially when sung by peter allen! ..RIP, peter ..

living in england for year and this song still gets me teary

Love it🇦🇺 proud to be Aussie 🐨🦘

Came back from a holiday once and thought of this song, brings so much pride

Far more emotional & patriotic than "Advance Australia Fair " & far more appropriate than " Waltzing Matilda " as a national anthem. We need to recognise this Peter Allen masterpiece as our next national anthem when the Queen passes away.

I'm an Aussie currently living in Venezuela. I loved this song before but I guess I appreciate it more now that I am travelling around and it will be a long while before I return to Australia. Thanks for posting this!!

I like it! It really reminds me of the 16years I spent in Australia! I really miss Sydney.

In a few days I will be leaving my beloved Australia to go on an overseas adventure. It'll be so much fun but my heart will always lead me back home to my home, Australia. Eventually I'll return and I'll remember everything that happened over the course of my adventure and how great it is that I made it home

I love Australia so much! It's perfect. PERFECT!

I am watching this on Australia Day, 2020.

There is no place in the world like Australia♥️

Just watch peterAllan life story what aI love this song Perter rest in peace god bless him amen

Great song which still gets me in the heart and should be our national anthem but hey Australia is not just bloody sydney!!! From a proud Australian not living in Sydney

I heard this song at the end of the Oprah Show today! How beautiful! It was moving, to say the least.This is coming from a Bostonian,.. (Boston, MA, USA) I was surprised that it's not their national anthem. :)

good on ya peter!!!!!!

miss u Australia, never been.there again since 2015

Cant Believe that in 5 months i will be moving down to the down under. Such a Amazing country and cant wait to call it home.

Iconic song. Brilliant

Love this song so so so much

Its a shame most of us take it for granted where we live ,its a truely marvelous place.

so beautiful...i love this song so much..i love my beautiful home "AUSTRALIA"

I still call Australia home, although it's not my home, but I always miss Sydney, where my sons live with his wife.....See you again Sydney!

Awesome!! I enjoyed this very much my friend.. All the best and thumbs up. G.

I am a Korean. I stayed in Sydney from 2004 to 2005 with working for an Aussie game company. I still have lots of memories in there and still call AUS home!

Beautiful song :)

Great photos, mate.

@vicweb1978 The reason he is singing with an American Accent is that for work reasons Peter Allen live most of his adult life in the USA, so naturally he picked up the accent. Peter constantly visited Australia where he grew up in Tenerfield in NSW. He was proud of being an Aussie and he never hid that fact. The whole point of the song is to tell people that no matter where you end up living or working Australia is always special in your heart.

Im living in Greece born and bred in Sydney im crying love you Sydney ♥️💜💚🧡🌹💙💓🙏

Qantas the spirit of Australia I love Australia and I can’t wait until restrictions are lifted I am very proud of the country that I live in I love Australia and we are all very lucky that we live in such a good country I’ve been over to Thailand and over in Thailand a person with a disability doesn’t get treated as well as a person with a disability in Australia you know we are all very lucky that we are Australian but the best thing with living in Australia we are very multiculturalAfter I travel and I come back to Melbourne after an international flight I get emotional because I am so proud of the country that I live in I cry because I will look at my passport and I think my god I’m so proud of my country that I live in I’ll never give up my Australian passport I will never give up the coat of Arms of Australia I’ll never give up the emu and the kangaroo that’s on my passport I am very lucky that I’m Australian and we are all very lucky that we are all Australian

I challenge anyone to listen to this song tomorrow (Australia Day) while thinking about the floods in QLD and VIC and NOT get teary!! I got teary when I heard Hugh et al singing it at the Oprah finale on Sunday night.

Why isn't this the national anthem?!

Who wrote this is a genius

Has anyone realised that there is more than one city in Australia. I live in Australia, it is a beautiful country and I wouldn't just put a whole lot of pictures of Sydney if I made a version of this. Peter Allen wasn't just talking about Sydney, some day we'll cometogether once more, all the people int he cities, towns and from the outback.

You just earned yourself a subscriber! From me! You now have 700! ^-^

It's a pity all the pictures are of Sydney and surrounds, Australia is so much more - not just a city. It's the towns, the bush, the outback, the sands, surf and blinding hot sun, the eucalyptus fragrant with aroma on a summer's day, the Rock and of course our native animals - Skippy, Blinky Bill, Cockatoo, Kookaburra, and of course - the bunyip. This is what Peter Allen would have been singing and writing about. Great man our Peter, there'll not be another like him.

@rjoteach Yes this is a beautiful song. i'm australian & this song is inspiring to say the least. But the lyrics are applicable to anybody wherever their home is. wherever u go there's no place like home. steve.

Some ausie guy who has his mustache fly away recommended this to me. Sounds nice. 😁

@ stevepepper, Thank you for your response. It's so true! This song can be applied to anyone, anywhere they reside. :)

Why are there only pics of Sydney.

You should rename this video. ''I Still Call Sydney and Canberra Home'' Anyone watching this video would think they are the only two towns in Australia.

So true. The song is I still call Australia Home, not sydney. There is so much to celebrate about our amazing country in all of the states and cities.

Brilliant song! Curious to know who wrote which first, Billy Joel with New York state of mind or Mr Allen with this, both so similar and both great!

I hope folk's watching this clip realise there is more than one city in Australia other than Sydney, hmm.

this is what australia is all about

I feel like you are family.... I am more hopeful. 💗

@tonianka1985 Australia is the place where I would prefer to visit again,

Why only Sydney pictures????

Holy god 2.14 that picture is terrifying haha

It's pretty obvious that he was on a tour around the Harbour - so please be nice!

@hhhbestfan Welcome, darls!

?>An Australian icon

Agree Melb is better than Sydney, but if you read the bio then you'll see that the person took all these photos on a camp and that's why it's all Sydney.

I’d rather this was the national anthem than Advance Australia Fair.

Make this the national anthem????

@MsAussie83 You can come over anytime mate :) we'll save ya a seat

Why can’t this be my lockdown music not a girl singing it in a high and creepy pitch!?!?

Sydney can't dominate everything - Melbourne is most liveable and Canberra is capital. Plus, Melbourne was capital before Canberra, not Sydney. Every Aussie capital is great.

Make this Australia's National anthem -- and create a new flag without the disgusting Union Jack (The Butcher's Apron) in it. Happy Australia Day, mates.!!

Why haven't the Labour and the Greens and Malcolm Rudd band this song shame shame shame .

wtf is he singing in an American accent for!? Talk about inappropriate. Where's Missy Higgins when you need her?
