O Canada was proclaimed as Canada's National Anthem on July 1, 1980. It had originally been written in French over a century earlier, to be sung in celebration of St. Jean-Baptiste Day, June 24, 1880. The first English version was sung during the Royal visit in 1901. Several changes in wording were made over the years before the "official" version was proclaimed. It is interesting to note that the English words and the French words to O Canada have significantly different meanings.
Originally written in French, the National Anthem of Canada was composed in 1880 by a young Canadian composer, Calixa Lavalée.The song was composed for the annual celebration of St. Jean-Baptiste day. The song was titled Chant National, but within 20 years was to be renamed "Oh Canada". The anthem was performed regularly at events in the province of Quebec over the next twenty years.In 1901, an English version of Oh Canada was sung in the city of Toronto, Ontario for the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall - the man who later became King George V of England.Versions of the song were written until Robert Stanley Weir, a lawyer in Montreal, wrote a poem in 1908. With a little adjustment by Weir a few years later, his poem became the words to the Canadian national anthem we are familiar with today.The Government of Canada on March 15, 1967 unofficially decided to adopt the music for 'Oh Canada' composed by Calixa Lavallée as the music of the National Anthem of Canada but it was twenty three years later, on July 1, 1980, that 'Oh Canada' was proclaimed the National Anthem of Canada, having been part of a bill passed in the government and given Royal assent.Here are the lyrics.Oh CanadaOh Canada!Our home and native land.True patriot love,In all thy sons command.With glowing hearts we see thee rise.The true north strong and freeFrom far and wide, Oh Canada,We stand on guard for thee,God keep our land,Glorious and free.Oh Canada, we stand on guard for thee,Oh Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
Québec is one of ten provinces in the Canadian confederation and therefore does not have a "national" anthem. The National Anthem of Canada, including Québec, is "O Canada". O Canada was originally played in Québec City for St-Jean Baptiste Day in 1880, which is interestingly now known as the National holiday of Québec. In fact, O Canada was not translated into English until 1906. This being said, the minority of Québecers who are seperatists (36% of Quebecers state they would vote for succession from Canada in a referendum as of August, 2008; Crop La-Presse Poll, August, 2008) have identified "Gens du pays" as the Québec National Anthem. However, while Québec is not a country, the Canadian Parliament has recognized Québec as a nation within a United Canada. This Parliamentary recognition has no legal standing and is simply intended to provide recognition and appreciation of the cultural distinctions that exist between English and French Canada.

The Australian National Anthem is Advance Australia Fair.It was originally written sometime during the 1870s by Scottish composer Peter Dodds McCormick who lived between 1834 and 1916. The song was known for its patriotic flavour. Originally, the first line was Australia's sons, let us rejoice but, along with other minor changes, this was altered to Australians, all, let us rejoice.The first known public performance of the song was in 1878, at the St Andrew's Day concert of the Highland Society on 30 November that year. It was also performed by a 10,000-voice choir at the inauguration ceremony accompanying the proclamation of the Commonwealth of Australia, on 1 January 1901.Advance Australia Fair was adopted as the National anthem of Australia on 19 April 1984. Between 1788 and 1984, Australia's national anthem was the Royal anthem God Save the Queen (or King, depending on the reigning monarch of the time). The Labor Party sought to change this to reflect a more "Australian" anthem, as it consolidated its independence from England. A ballot was held, and Advance Australia Fair was the winning choice, against Banjo Paterson's Waltzing Matilda and Carl Linger's Song of Australia.See also the related question below.
