🇦🇺 Happy Australia Day 🇦🇺
Kids and I got our tucker from the local council this morning, we just sat and watched everyone, fist nations people, ten pound pom descendants, the people receiving citizenship this morning. There were the very elderly, babe’s in arms and the playground was full. Damn I love being in Australia, it’s faults are far overshadowed buy it’s country and people.
Any idea what year this might have been filmed?
There’s something very haunting about watching them sing and march
So many young men , just beginning, it breaks your heart .
Anyone know why they whistle the last verse? Is it like bad luck or something? Don’t mention MacBeth to an actor, don’t mention the swagman’s ghost to an Australian soldier?
True Aussie Marching Cadence….🇦🇺
Interesting they are not armed.
Very steady camera? Perhaps later stabilized with newer tech?
Would it have been filmed from a truck? Seems quite high
This is why i celebrate Australia Day. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Fun fact, 1st marines marching song is waltzing matilda.
