Product Description

“The Australian Spirit” is a follow up to the highly appraised “Australia My Country” album. Every song on this new CD is an Australian composition performed by an Australian independent artist, and shows in one way or another, the spirit of Australians in good times and bad. Whilst some songs are humorous and show we can laugh at ourselves, all songs are inspiring and make us feel proud to live in this great land we call Australia.
