Whenever Australia comes up in a conversation, 3 things cross my mind: Men At Work (80's Band from Australia), Vegemite, and the song "Bush Fire" from Midnight Oil (also an 80's Band from Australia). As a matter a fact, Midnight Oil not only still remains my favorite band of all time. Here are the lyrics to the song I mentioned that also relates to this stamp. =)
"Bushfire" by Midnight Oil
In my shoes, in my shoes
There is so much to remind me
As the stars come out above me, home
Cool wind, clear my head
Bright sun grow my food
Strong rain clear my heart
Fill my land
It's a new day
I don't know why it is sold
Don't know why it's so cold
In this life that we live
New day, new day, new day
In my shoes, in my shoes
There is so much to astound me
As the whirlpool spins around me, home
Bushfire, burn and grow
Sunset watch and rest low
Long night holding child close, feed my dream
It's a new day
I don't know why it is sold
Don't know why it's so cold
In this life that we live
New day new day new day
It's larger than life, it's darker than death
We're gonna move those mountains aside
Here come the messages
Power and the Passion is my favourite, cobber!
Great iconic Ozzie stamp too!
Down Under- Where women roar and men thunder (flute cameo).....
My son (13) played that in the car today - he even knew the words!
I don't remember this stamp - 90s?
Beds are burning for mine..before my current profession I worked in the music and theatre business. Both these bands were very successful and both had terrific songwriters....my husband who is English and 20 years younger then I loves it when I sing songs from past history...it was only last week that I sang to him "But if you leave me, can I come too?"... A great and yet poignant ditty....you have good taste in music....
My fav Aussie stamps were 1970 Japan Expo, the Australia expo building....
