  • Australia's Christmas Day by The Borderers (@cioccas) Lyrics PDF
    Lovely song about celebrating Christmas in Australia, far away from family, and the essence of giving, and the one day we have the chance to unite

 

  •  "Watch Over Me" by Bernard Fanning (Megan Yucel)

 

  •  Angus & Julia Stone songs (@eslkazzyb)

 

  •  Louie The Fly - Australian theme; mostly simple present and present continuous sentences; lots of useful words and idioms; easy melody; catchy. (Laura McFarlane)

 

  • "I Still Call Australia Home" - Fairly simple vocab, and a real tear-jerker when they perform it. (Vicky Bos)

  • 'Streets of Your Town' by the Go-Betweens is a favourite - great to get the class singing the 'Shi-i-i-ine' parts! Be prepared to explain the "And this town is full of battered wives" line, though... (@elkysmith) 

 

  •  John Farnham: You're the voice -- this would work great if you took your class for swimming lessons with an 80s theme ... seriously, maybe something from INXS? (Andrew Pollard)

 

  • 'Surf City Limits' by the Fauves - catchy tune with a good 'sun smart' message :-):-) (@elkysmith) 

 

  • 'T-Shirt Weather' by the Lucksmiths - 2 mins, catchy, pretty straightforward lyrics (@elkysmith)

 

  •   'To Her Door' by Paul Kelly - great for a straightforward narrative (@elkysmith)
