I Am Australian The Seekers (Ft. Mandawuy Yunupingu & Russell Hitchcock)

[Verse 1: Mandawuy Yunupingu]
I came from the Dreamtime
From the dusty red-soil plains
I am the ancient heart
The keeper of the flame
I stood upon the rocky shores
I watched the tall ships come
For forty thousand years I've been
The first Australian

[Verse 2: Russell Hitchcock]
I came upon the prison ship
Bound down by iron chains
I fought the land
Endured the lash
And waited for the rains
I'm a settler
I'm a farmers wife
On a dry and barren run
A convict, then a free man
I became Australian

[Verse 3: Judith Durham]
I'm the daughter of a digger
Who sought the mother load
The girl became a woman
On the long and dusty road
I'm a child of the Depression
I saw the good times come
I'm a bushy, I'm a battler
I am Australian
