Yep, who needs Russel Crowe when we've got "All aussie adventures" Russell Coight?

Oh oh, btw, talking the Castle... http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2011/01/30/3125002.htm Which is great news for all! I called the Real Estate agent to ask the price (I searched everywhere for the ad in the Trading Post - wasn't there - so had to look elsewhere) and, while we could have talked for hours, I just got to the question of price. He told me $195'000 - I told him he was dreaming! Anywho, my elephants trunk is still up in the pool room, so with that luck maybe the price will become more reasonable. I almost have the 185 but need to get me a pair of jousting sticks so can't get both. And, on the original feedback, I too felt sooooo proud to be Australian as I watched. I love our country. I love our people. I loved growing up there. Wuffles, I know the ad you're talking about!! I think I saw your daughter too! A boy I went to school with also had a sister in the ad/choir :) How cool-lets all chip in and buy a piece of Bonnie Doon-we would need to extend and add a pool room there too though and a pen for the greyhound guard dogs perhaps?

I have the box sets for Kath& Kim, Summer Heights High and have The Castle ("what do you call this darl?" "Spongecake") on DVD. Don't have a copy of All Aussie Adventures though. Maybe we can add Gangaroo- Hamish and Andy to the mix? Let's do it!! <em>edited by Little Poppet on 08/02/2011</em>

Yep...cried!!! That'so cool Wuffles that your daughter sang in the ad's! It is nice-she still sings it iunder her breath when she is happy-it really gets stuck in your head-especially when you perform it as many times as she did-but she still loves it-they had the best time being flown here there and everywhere doing the ads-and later she flew twice to LA for the G"Day LA promotions round Austraia Day

I love Australia but have been happy since moving here so I don't get homesick that much. Let me tell you, all those Oprah episodes made me homesick! I missed the colours and people and the spirit. I felt so so proud to be an Aussie when I was watching it. Just sat there with the biggest grin on my face everytime she raved about how awesome it was. Just kept thinking how amazing the people are, given what has been thrown at them recently. Over the past couple of days I have been worried about my parents house due to the fires in Perth. They were evacuated and my Dad is a volunteer firey so that is always worrying. They have been one of the lucky ones and can now go back to their house. So many people have already lost their homes over the weekend, because of some stupid mistake (guy using angle grinder on a ban day) but you just know they will all rally as a city to help those who lost everything. I love Australia and I love being an Australian, even if I am not ready to go back and live there! :)

I've never watched Oprah, but I did check out that You-tube clip. Wow, all I can say is our Livvy sure is looking good for 62! I guess she's had work, but she looked pretty decent to me. I had to go google her age!

Always cry when I hear it-my beautiful (well I am biased) daughter did the earlier series of commercials for Qantas and was the lead singer in the ads-they used a pretty blond girl for the face though-she travelled all over the world doing the ads but one of her favourite things was when they sang it impromptu on the various flights and watched the passengers reactions close up!
