A Note on the Title

I thought very long and hard for about 5 minutes for a clever and witty title before failing miserably. So, I turned to Australian national anthem and essentially used the only line that would make sense as a title. Here it is in its entirety:


Australians all let us rejoice
For we are young 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.

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.

How far away is the commonwealth star?

Sean said...

Good question. Six points of the star are representative of the six states of Australia while the seventh is representative of the territories and any future states... so says Wikipedia anyway. So, one could say that it's anywhere from 0 km to about 20,000 km, if Australia holds a territory on the opposite side of the planet... kind of.

The Southern Cross is the five stars on the right side of the flag, for anyone who didn't pick up on that...
