Australia's rugby union team the Wallabies sing anthem in Indigenous language for first time

Australia's national anthem is sung in a local Indigenous language before the Australian rugby team's Tri-Nations match against Argentina. Olivia Fox, a Wiradjuri woman and student at Newtown High School of the Performing Arts, sings it in the language of the Eora nation – the Aboriginal coastal clans from around Sydney. Every Wallabies player had learnt the words by heart for the historic moment before Saturday night's game

ARU. Please make the Anthem in both languages the usual format.Loved It!

[Machete]

This is way more meaningfully and appropriate than changing the wording of our anthem!

[meagi]

[caterinalsullivan]

The best rendition of our anthem I have ever heard. Congratulations to Ms Fox for making history!

I feel so proud that I have learnt the eora version by heart ! Thanks to Olivia for singing this through.

I didn't even know aboriginals had a language. Wasn't their greatest achievement the sharpening of sticks?

[ItIt]

Aboriginal Language must be added with Australian Anthem with English

[bluehost]

A beautiful symbolic act of unity in this country. We are all Australians, lets heal the wounds of the past and move forward TOGETHER

I deeply and strongly admire the Indigenous Australians and I hope to visit and listen to their music.
