Nope, to me Billabong is just a skater/California style clothing brand sold as PacSun. I had no idea it was actually a thing, much less a land form!

"This here's the wattle, the emblem of our land. You can stick it in a bottle, you can hold it in your hand.

Amen!"

Sadly, this little 'poem' does not include the word 'golden' in it, or I would have definitely got that one.

In outback Australia areas such as Arnhem Land, Northern Territory etc. a billabong is a pond left behind when a river dries up. The monsoonal rains have these rivers running for a few months, then eventually when the rains stop, the rivers stop running and deeper locations along the course form ponds. These too will slowly evaporate unless quite deep. Generally when bathing in these billabongs the top 2 feet is quite warm, below that they are icy cold. Sometimes rivers flood their banks and form secondary channels and billabongs can occur along those, but not usually as deep as in the primary channel.

I think he's probably just referring to the Australian accent, which, to be fair, does put a little bit on an "i" sound into long a's.

My son chose Waltzing Matilda as the subject of a school report about Australia, and we learned the lyrics which is the only reason this American got both Matilda and billabong. Too bad there wasn't anything in the lyrics about Neighbours or Golden Wattle. :)

Made a correct guess, but never realised the golden wattle was the national flower. I would've assumed it was the banksia. Which it should be, really, since it's far more distinctive and unlike the wattle is found in every state.

"Aboriginies" is the collective noun while "aboriginal" is an adjective (eg Aboriginal land, Aboriginal artefact). Suggest accepting both but displaying "Aboriginies".

Aboriginals is the preferred term these days; Aborigine is considered offensive. https://www.sbs.com.au/nitv/nitv-news/article/2018/02/23/why-do-media-organisations-news-corp-reuters-and-new-york-times-still-use-words

Based on the link, and I would agree, "Indigenous" is the preferred term (but obviously doesn't start with A). I stand corrected on "Aboriginies" and even on the use of "Aborigines" - we should be listening to what Indigenous Australians want to be called.

I always thought a billabong was some sort of pot/pan because of the first verse of waltzing Matilda (where he waited till his billy boiled) thinking billy was short for billabong, a word I'd heard later in the song. Having looked it up I now know it's short for billycan. And having looked at the full lyrics the meanings make a lot more sense to me :)
