Listen to Australia's national anthem using the player below. Here are the lyrics:
Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free; We’ve golden soil and wealth for toil; Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in nature’s gifts Of beauty rich and rare;

For those who’ve come across the seas We’ve boundless plains to share; With courage let us all combine
