Product details

Australia has been home to people from many lands for over 60,000 years. All have sought to find their 'spirit of place', a land where they can live safely and prosper. This recording by the Royal Australian Navy Band pays respect to our southern land and to all people who have lived or travelled here in search of peace, community and shared values. From the first light on Uluru to a community celebration by our latest immigrants, this collection of music from our combined cultures shows Australia as a land of many, sharing the same optimistic future.

— Lieutenant Commander Steven Stanke, RAN
