Any Seekers Fans here?

I remember this from when I was a kid. Wonderful blend of folk and rock!

Bruce Woodley of the Seekers was also co writer of the song 'I am Australian' - now well known by all of us and and almost a defacto National Anthem.

Unfortunately it was written a bit after the referendum to choose the anthem - and we went from God save the Queen to Advance Australia Fair.

I dont mind Advance Australia Fair and we are unlikely to have another referendum o n this - but I think 'I am Australian' would win hands down
if we did.

Yes, I had their greatest hits album on vinyl in the late 1960's.

So did I, the first LP I ever bought.

Absolutely -- a welcome relief from the loud, crazy stuff of the time. The Seekers, along with Simon and Garfunkle, were two of my favorites from the Sixties.

Judith Denham passed on just a couple of years ago. A very photogenic and wonderful singer, indeed.

I voted for Walzing Matilda - just the tune, because it is a great one to whistle when walking along a bush track.
Actually either version would have been OK.

This is The Seekers performing the lesser known Queensland version

For the record, I do love We are Australian. It is learned by every school child and I get very misty when I hear children singing this song.

yes me too - would vote for it in a heartbeat if we had another referendum.

unlikely we will be doing so though.

This one will seem corny at our age but when I first heard it I was in Junior High School and I guess it expressed how remote and hopeless the prospect of finding a partner feels when you are young.

I love morning town ride it played fairly often at dances ( not seekers ) but an instrumental version mastered for sequence dancing

Listened to them as a kid. Father would listen to all kinds of music on the weekends while working on his model ships and planes.
