At about 0550 here, with All Classical playing the popular Aussie anthem. No, not the official anthem, the popular one which most of us know as "Waltzing Matilda", after it's refrain. The actual title of the anthem is "Swagman's Promenade"*. Like their other fine national symbol, the Foster's Oilcan, it has a good start and a better finish.

* Swagman. We used to call them "bindle stiffs". Yes, I am REALLY old, because while Bindle Stiff as a Depression-era term was fading fast in my youth, it was still used and I learned it.
