There is nothing wrong with the current one. It contains some archaic words, like girt, but people should learn what they mean, not moan about it.
'Advance Australia Fair' is the national anthem of Australia. A revised version of a late nineteenth century patriotic song, it was officially declared the national anthem on 19 April 1984.However, there is a popular song, 'Waltzing Matilda' which is regarded by many as the "unofficial" national anthem of Australia.Australia's National Anthem - Advance Australia FairAustralians all let us rejoice, For we are young and free;We've golden soil and wealth for toil;Our home is girt by sea;Our land abounds in nature's giftsOf beauty rich and rare;In history's page, let every stageAdvance Australia Fair.In joyful strains then let us sing,Advance Australia Fair.Beneath our radiant Southern CrossWe'll toil with hearts and hands;To make this Commonwealth of oursRenowned of all the lands;For those who've come across the seasWe've boundless plains to share;With courage let us all combineTo Advance Australia Fair.In joyful strains then let us sing,Advance Australia Fair.advance Australia fair
THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER WRITER FRANCIS SCOTT KEY Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? hope this helps!!!Yea this helps but who always says the last part u repeted it again??!!???!?!?!? thx but not much

What do you base this assumption on exactly? I'm Australian, and I know ever single word to my anthem. As do nearly alllllll my peers that I went to school with. And not just first verse, all the verses. AND we know what the words represent, and the significance behind them. Because we were taught it in school. Being patriotic, on MANY an occasion I've both taught the words and the meanings to my colleagues over here in Britain. Because of this I don't see why you'd think that Australian's don't know their anthem, EXCEPT that you've maybe seen a comedy sketch like "Rove" where they go out and test people on whether they know the anthem or not?? However when you compare it to the fact that lots of American's know the "Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame-seed bun" jingle better than they know their own anthem also, then perhaps its just a human / global thing in general and not limited to one country... Or maybe because our anthem has "technical" words in it like "girt." Many Australians do know their national anthem (mostly the first verse), especially because it is heard sung before AFL etc. matches. Children in school are still taught the national anthem, which they sing regularly at their school assemblies.
