"Advance Australia Fair" is the national anthem of Australia.
Created by the Scottish-born composer Peter Dodds McCormick,
the song was first performed in 1878 and sung in Australia as a
patriotic song. It replaced "God Save the Queen" as the official
national anthem in 1984, following a plebiscite to choose the
national song in 1977. Other songs and marches have been
influenced by "Advance Australia Fair", such as the Australian
vice-regal salute.
