"I Still Call Australia Home" is a song written and performed by Peter Allen in 1980. In it, Allen sings of Australian expatriates' longing for home. It has been used to suggest Australian patriotism and nostalgia for home. An example is the series of Qantas television commercials where it was sung either by individual Australian musicians or one of several Australian youth choirs. In the 1984 Summer Olympics' ''Opening Gala'' TV special (in Los Angeles), Olivia Newton-John performed this song from Sydney, Australia with the choir in a medley with "Waltzing Matilda". Later, both songs were used in the musical about Allen's life, ''The Boy from Oz'', in which Hugh Jackman starred as Allen. "I Still Call Australia Home" was added to the National Film and Sound Archive's Sounds of Australia registry in 2013.〔National Film and Sound Archive: (Sounds of Australia ).〕 ==Charts== "I Still Call Australia Home" peaked at number 72 on the Australian singles chart in June 1982 when it was originally released but re-entered the charts and peaked at number 60 in September 2015 following the screening of the mini-series ''Peter Allen: Not the Boy Next Door''.
