The Australian National Anthem x 2

The Australian National Anthem - Advance Australia Fair

Each year, Port Fairy a picturesque coastal town, 30 minutes drive from our school, Hawkesdale P12 College, hosts a popular music festival. As part of this festival, groups of students from a number of district schools were taught to sing the national anthem by Brett Clarke, a local aboriginal community member, in the local Gunditjmara Kirrae Whurrong language.
The students then formed a choir to sing the anthem in both the local aboriginal language and in our English language at the Port Fairy Folk Festival.
