I've been to cities that never close down
From New York to Rome and old London town
But no matter how far or how wide I roam
I still call Australia home

I'm always travelling, I love being free
And so I keep leaving the sun and the sea
But my heart lies waiting over the foam
I still call Australia home

All the sons and daughters spinning 'round the world
Away from their family and friends

I miss you, can't wait to see you

But as the world gets older and colder
It's good to know where your journey ends

Someday we'll all be together once more
When all of the ships come back to the shore
I realise something that I've always known
I still call Australia home

But no matter how far or how wide I roam
I still call Australia
I still call Australia
I still call Australia home

QANTAS I Still Call Australia Home Campaign:

More than 35 years after Qantas first launched an advertising campaign using the iconic Peter Allen anthem I Still Call Australia Home, the airline has unveiled a new version of the advertisement to showcase Australia as the world re-opens and travellers return to the skies.

The advert has a contemporary arrangement of the song and features the vocals of a new generation of the Australian Girls Choir together with National Boys Choir, the Gondwana Choir and some of Australia’s most loved personalities.

Along with Kylie Minogue, Ash Barty, Hugh Jackman and Troye Sivan, the campaign also stars children from Longreach, Qantas staff, Adam Goodes, members of Bangarra Dance Theatre, swimmers Bronte Campbell and Ellie Cole and Aboriginal Elder Rene Kulitja.

The advert was filmed pre-COVID at locations around Australia, from the spectacular Hutt Lagoon in WA to the jagged cliffs of Cape Raoul in Tasmania. Scenes were also filmed in Melbourne, Uluru (Ayers Rock), Hobart, Brisbane, Sydney, South Australia’s salt lakes, Longreach, the Whitsundays, Los Angeles, Tokyo and London.

The final cut of the advertisement highlights emotional reunions with loved ones as more Australians are travelling domestically and international visitors are returning.

Omg I became a citizen this year and that really touched me I can’t stop crying, so proud to be part of this beautiful country called Australia!!! I can finally call my home!

[geelongboylee]

I just CANNOT watch this without crying. It’s very weird as I never cry.

[JimPaloAlto]

I've never been to Australia but I cried as I watched this.

[vickersonp]

Absolutely love this ….it tears at the heart strings. I arrived in Australia as a 4 yo refugee from war torn Europe with my parents (I’m now 78). I’m a true blue Aussie as I can play a didgeridoo and have been vaccinated as a true blue Aussie (I was bitten by a snake when I was 10 😀). It’s without a doubt the best country in the world). 🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘

I'll always be forever grateful to my parents for moving us from the UK to grow up in Australia. My Dad was proud to call Australia home.

[geoffcoates]

Every single time I watch this I cry like a baby. I’m Australian. I have been since birth. But I’m a very proud and patriotic Aussie. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[ryunooo]

I'm Japanese, not Aussie, but for some reason this song always moves me to tears. It reminds me of the amazing trip I took in Australia and of my hometown in Japan.

[damha.m]

This should be our Australian anthem!!

[OVTraveller]

This is OUR anthem, it is evocative if sung at home and ready to produce tears when heard away from home.

[maitlandbezzina]

This one hits different when you’ve been living in Europe and Asia for 2 years. Next year Australia will be home again, hopefully for good!

[devilundercover]

My adopted home 🇦🇺 . Love her, thank you Australia for letting me call you home ❤❤.

[kiabradford]

I was a kid in the AYC (Australian youth choir) and we were the kids in the original ad from the 90s, this one hits home for me, know it word for word. Can never seem to keep my composure through it anymore 😂

[jtorts]

Should be australia’s second national anthem. Really patriotic and bring all aussies together. Crying in LA as i watch this. Aussie expat here

[carlosvazdecamoes]

My family used to live in Australia, long ago, as migrants. My father died calling Australia home. He'd have LOVED to listen to this masterpiece. Enhorabuena desde España.

[tex]

They always play this when landing here in Australia 🇦🇺.... Not a dry eye on the plane😭😭😭😭 don't matter the country people are from, makes everyone think of home & love ones worldwide ♥️♥️♥️
Remember rule #1
Safe travels 🙏♥️🐾🐾🇦🇺

[TheNextLife]

I used to proud of Australia having Qantas. Now I travel with anyone else. It’s a real shame because their flight/terminal staff are the best. But their management needs changing.
