  11. Thanks Peg for the video. I cried while listening... I love your togetherness, this incredible proud feeling of being Australian that comes through over and over when I hear this song anywhere. I am proud and love being Hungarian, but always thought that if I could not be Hungarian I would love to be Australian. I also lived in London for a while, but never felt that I would love to be English but I sure would choose being Australian in my next life :-)

  12. It is odd. My comments disappear from your blog. I left a comment yesterday and it is gone. I left one just a minute ago and that is also gone.
    Just wanted to thank you for the link to the video clips. I was really touched. It was a beautiful ceremony.
