I Still Call Australia Home!!








I love this ad. I saw it for the first time in Melbourne in (i think) 2000. The version then was a little different but the concepts were similar (kids in white tops and black pants singing their hearts out to the tune of "I Still Call Australia Home"). This version was shown during the Sydney olympics 2004.

Interesting Fact about the ad:
- The finale, shot at Whitehaven Beach in Queensland, features 500 children in the shape of the Qantas kangaroo. Nearly half of these children came from local schools.
- It took five months to film, from late October 2003 until early March 2004.
- 169,561 kilometres travelled. That is 4.25 times around the globe!
- 112,370 feet or 280 rolls of film were used.
- 656 production crew from 9 countries.
- 245 hours of filming took place.
- Everything was shot on location.

If only Singaporean ads were this good!!
