These Qantas advertise series spans several years. I watch the first one when I study over there. After the big success, couple follows. All of them still capture my heart.
Got the story from Duncans.tv The full history of this advertise can be read from here. The song itself was written by Peter Allen which more can find in Wikipedia.
The Qantas campaign, I Still Call Australia Home, is one of the frontrunners for the top Australian television campaigns of all time. Running from 1997 through to 2004, the campaign has linked together Australians living at home with those traveling or living overseas. Beginning with a range of Australian musicians, the campaign has come to be associated with the Australian Girls Choir and National Boys Choir.
The campaign began in 1997 with a three-minute commercial featuring trumpeter James Morrison, Kate Ceberano, James Blundell and other popular singers singing Peter Allens song, I still call Australia home. In the background are scenes from around the world and Australia. The shot finishes with a Boeing 747 and the words, QANTAS The Australian Airline.
Lyrics for I Still Call Australia Home
Note that the original lyric has Rio rather than Rome. However Qantas doesnt fly to Rio.
Ive been to cities that never close down from New York to Rome and old London town, but no matter how far or how wide I roam I still call Australia home.
Im always traveling, I love being free, and so I keep leaving the sun and the sea, but my heart lies waiting over the foam. I still call Australia home.
All the sons and daughters spinning round the world, away from their family and friends, but as the world gets older and colder, its good to know where your journey ends.
But someday well all be together once more when all of the ships come back to the shore. Then I realise something Ive always known. I still call Australia home.
Now we can tell how warm the room is by looking for the flower on the wall. It is some kind of temperature sensitive paint that will reveal the image of flower when the temperature rises to a certain level.
Don’t know if the room is so hot, will the leaves turn brown also? 🙂
This here is some fancy wallpaper that’s heat sensitive, changing the pattern when the radiator comes on. It’s a pretty sweet idea, and it looks cool, although I wonder if it goes from all to nothing like in these pictures or if it just stays in a halfway-there middle ground most of the time. If that’s the case, which is likely, then no thanks. Hit the jump to see it with the radiator off.
Hello my friend, welcome to my new place. I would like to call it balcony since it is the most comfortable in the house especially in Thai style house.
