Icehouse - Great Southern Land
BackWhen "Great Southern Land" was released as the first single from the Primitive Man album in 1982, a video for it was filmed in a disused sandstone quarry in the Kuringai National Park near Sydney. Then, in 1989, when the song met its first release as a single in North America and Europe, a new clip had to be made to accompany the overseas single. This time, the background Australian landscapes were provided by the Myall Lakes National Park on the mid-north coast of New South Wales. As befits the song, both clips were, of course, typically Australian in content, but the earlier one did feature a few Australian native animals, including a large goanna crawling across barren sandy earth. This latter typical Australian had obviously won many fans, since, when the new clip appeared there were quite a few appeals for "the one with the goanna." The result was that both "Great Southern Land" clips had to be included in the commercial video released in 1989. (www.spellbound-icehouse.org)

Piontro, you certainly have lots of bad attitudes toward Americans-my advice-loosen up, don't waste your time on insulting others, life is hard enough even without it.
Stevenimich, I'm Pole,living in U.S. and I hope u don't feel this way about all immigrants.
Actually, the system of education in U.S. is ok, teachers are nice and want to teach/help you, in my country it's all about insulting students.
