Good Morning Paul,

Thanks for that. "Life of Brian," is very appropriate
here.

Now I've got one that you might like - which is also
fitting:

Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them
collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his
eyes are glazed.

The other guy whips out his cellphone and calls the
emergency services. He gasps, "My friend is dead!"
What can I do?"

The operator says, "Calm down, I can help.
First let's make sure he's dead."

There was a silence, then a shot is heard.

Back on the phone the guy says,

" OK, now what?"

Paul
Let’s not forget communications, no more message stick, today’s Indiigenous Australian uses a mobile ‘phone.
The Royal Flying Doctor Service has been another great asset that came because of the Brits, and last, but not least, the idea of nationhood.

Dear Paul,

Remember the lyrics of this song? :

I came from the dream-time
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

I'm the daughter of a digger
Who sought the mother lode
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 bushie, I'm a battler
I am Australian

We are one, but we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come
We'll share a dream and sing with one voice
I am, you are, we are Australian

I'm a teller of stories
I'm a singer of songs
I am Albert Namatjira
And I paint the ghostly gums
I'm Clancy on his horse
I'm Ned Kelly on the run
I'm the one who waltzed Matilda
I am Australian

We are one, but we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come
We'll share a dream and sing with one voice
I am, you are, we are Australian

We are one, but we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come
We'll share a dream and sing with one voice
I am, you are, we are Australian
I am, you are, we are Australian

Have you got the music for that to be played on the didgeridoo?

Is Mise,

"I am Australian" by The Seekers.

The digital sheet music is available online
from:

musicnotes.com.

And probably can be ordered from any good music store.

The instrument you play it on is your choice.
