I am Australian
There are a few defining moments in life. When I met Megan I knew I wanted to spend my life with her. When I went to Hurricane Katrina I realized I wanted to spend my life with the Red Cross. And when I went to the bushfire memorial and heard the mourning crowd sing this song... I wanted to spend my life in Australia. Don't panic, it's not like we've made that drastic of a decision... I'm just really moved by the way in which Australia has come together in the face of this tragedy. I love this country. We may only be "457's" and not Australians... but for now that's close enough.
(Extra verses were added to this classic song, specifically for the memorial. And two Kinglake survivors joined in the singing... and that officially brought the crowd to tears).
