"Advance Australia Fair" je službena državna himna Australije. Pjesmu je napisao Peter Dodds McCormick, rođeni Škot, još 1878. godine, a dugo se vremena u Australiji pjevala kao domoljubna pjesma. Status službene državne himne nije imala sve do 1984. godine, nakon što je na plebiscitu 1977. izabrana za državnu himnu. "Advance Australia Fair" ima status državne himne, dok se britanska himna "God Save the Queen", koja ima status kraljevske himne, izvodi samo tokom posjeta članova kraljevske obitelji Australiji. "Advance Australia Fair" je, također, izvršila značajan utjecaj na druge pjesme i marševe, uključujući i australski vicekraljevski pozdrav.

Tekst

Službeni tekst himne, usvojen 1984. godine, glasi:^[1]

Prva strofa: Australians all let us rejoice,; For we are one and free;; We've golden soil and wealth for toil;; Our home is girt by sea;; Our land abounds in nature's gifts; Of beauty rich and rare;; In history's page, let every stage; Advance Australia Fair.; In joyful strains then let us sing,; Advance Australia Fair.

Druga strofa: Beneath our radiant Southern Cross; We'll toil with hearts and hands;; To make this Commonwealth of ours; Renowned of all the lands;; For those who've come across the seas; We've boundless plains to share;; With courage let us all combine; To Advance Australia Fair.; In joyful strains then let us sing,; Advance Australia Fair.
