In this book , the words and music of Australiaâ²s National anthem are accompanied by paintings from some of Australiaâ²s finest artists: Fredrick McCubbin, Tom Roberts, Margaret Preston, Russel Drysdale, Albert Namatjira and others. The first public performance of Australiaâ²s national anthem is thought to have been given in Sydney on 30 November 1878 at the St Andrewâ²s Day concert of the Highland Society. The singer was a Mr Andrew Fairfax. It gained favour as a national song, and sung by a choir of 10,000 at the inauguration of the Commonwealth of Australia on 1 January 1901. The Australian Labor Party policy for the 1972 elections included finding an alternative anthem to God Save the Queen. A competition was held but despite the large number of submissions received, none were considered acceptable. A couple of opinion polls in 1974 and 1977 followed, but it wasnâ²t until 1984 that the song was formally adopted as Australiaâ²s only national anthem.
