Dear Bob,
         I just think it's funny how WM nearly became our National Anthem, and how 'only in Australia' could we have a NA which tells us nothing about ourselves apart from a bloke committing suicide after stealing a sheep, and which is called Waltzing da-di-da, and isn't even a waltz! It also makes me smile, tempered with not a little alarm, when I realise how few people actually know all the words, and how even fewer know what a billabong, jumbuck or squatter are! I get a bit worried when I find that our national culture and heritage are quickly disappearing under the pressure of so many influences. We don't even have a national dress, apart from shorts, thongs and a beer-can in a stubby-holder! Cheers! Iain.
