Your dad inspired a generation of young white Australians to learn about the First Nations people and the richness of their cultures. I can still recall being 16 years old on the floor of the Hordern Pavilion with thousands of us punching the air and singing along with him "Stand up, stand up and be counted." I don't know when or why so many those others with me that day decided to sit down but the shame of what my generation has become - the selfish, materialistic 3 rental property owning LNP voter base - is with me every day.

One of the greatest Aussie songs of all time full of yearning, nostalgia and reflection on the paths life takes you down - cracking track thankyou Warumpi Band respect!

I love them. Have since their Creation.

It's sacrilege this song (and band) were not given the airtime on local radio that they deserved. when they were making their rounds. So many kids growing up in Australia not knowing them or hearing their awesome music that has meaning and the 'spirit of Australia'. I first heard them in Atherton in 1992 and I was hooked. Thankyou Warumpi Band.

I get home after a night out (Kansas City). I had a yearning to hear and see this classic that was such an impactful song from growing up (Melbourne). Have listened to these guys everywhere I’ve traveled. The fact I’m still seeking out the song, and you’re reading this comment, proves really how strong it is. #warumpis

Such a beautiful song!! I love it so much!!! 🙂🎶 Love from an Irish man, who’s living in Japan...singing this beautiful song, while dreaming and yearning for “my island home” so far away in Ireland 😊☘️

This song makes me cry. I'm back in my hometown today, after living ten years in a dry dusty place.

DEADLY original version... Love listening to it!

What à beautiful song,should be a national anthem

One of the greatest songs ever written. Period.

I use to live away from my home i had my kids my woman but still it hurt .Every time i listened to this song it break me down to tears because i just wanted to go back home to my people. Powerful

I watch tis in 87 on rage, should have went to number 1,it deserved to,such a cool song on so many levels

Yes my island home, I am coming back. 🥺😃❤

A beautiful song for those whose home is far away surrounded by the sea. A top song for all island boys and girls out there far from home.

this version (the original) makes so much more sense

Such a beautiful song and reminds me of my time living in the Northern Territory

Love this song George had a great voice , sadly no longer with us. I think this was a very underrated group. Like the bit at 2.05 - two hands one black one white to me that has a lot of meaning.

Nice one, fellas. :) I can't believe I was in Grade 12 when this came out! Thanks for getting behind the Warumpis, 4ZZZ.

This song makes me miss the Tanami... So beautiful and emotive

This is Australia's most awesome folksong. Pity that the Warumpi Band was never given the spot light during their time. Shame on us Aussie's. The band consisted of George Burarrwanga on vocals and didgeridoo, Gordon Butcher Tjapanangka on drums, his brother Sammy Butcher Tjapanangka on guitar and bass guitar, and Neil Murray on rhythm guitar and backing vocals.

George Burarrwanga ♥ bless him

An underrated band and most think it was Christine Anu had the original version. I have seen these guys in concert and they are fantastic and a credit to Australia.
