Question: 1 / 400

What is the national anthem of Australia?

God Save the Queen

Advance Australia Fair

The national anthem of Australia is "Advance Australia Fair." This song was officially adopted as the national anthem in 1984, although it had been previously performed at various public events since the late 19th century. The anthem is meant to evoke feelings of pride and reflection on the nation's identity, history, and values. Its lyrics celebrate the beauty of Australia and express a desire for unity and progress among Australians.

While “God Save the Queen” is often associated with Australia, especially in the context of its connection to the British monarchy, it is not the national anthem but rather a royal anthem. “Waltzing Matilda,” though culturally significant and often considered an unofficial anthem, is a folk song and not designated as the national anthem. “I Still Call Australia Home,” while a popular song that resonates with Australians, particularly expatriates, also does not hold the official status of a national anthem. Thus, "Advance Australia Fair" stands out as the correct response.
