Fellow guests on the Azamara Quest 22 Jan 19 - 6 Feb 19 cruise

Hi all

 

After a fantastic cruise around New Zealand and ending in Sydney I'm hoping for help from anyone who was on board to enlighten me about the recording playback of a male singer who sung a song whilst sailing towards and under Sydney Bridge, I wondered if it was the Australian National Anthem but am uncertain.  The reason for asking is so that I can place the recording onto a video of the bridge approach.......it was such a haunting song.  Thanks all in anticipation

"Waltzing Matilda"?

It may have been "I still call Australia home" originally written and recorded by Peter Allen.

You nailed it 'sailco', that's the song and singer......thank you so much.  I'm not from Australia but listening to his song brings tears to my eyes and I can agree with the comments written on youtube that it ought to be your National Anthem, well once you become a republic I would say!!!!

Just need to obtain a good copy and link it onto my video, it just fits in with sailing to and underneath the Sydney Bridge.

Thanks once more

So pleased I was anle to help. And you're right. It couldn't have been better said or sung 😎 

Happy travels
