Australian Made, Australian Grown

[OzBoz]

Just for the record. Before the politicians, and the anti discrimination lobby hacked away with the censor's pen, the second verse of Advance Australia Fair was:-

When gallant Cook from Albion sailed.
To trace wide oceans o'er.
True British courage bore him on.
Til he landed on our shore
Then here he raised Old England's flag.
The standard of the brave.
With all her faults we love her still.
Britannia rules the wave
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia Fair.

Peter Dodds McCormick 1879
