waltzing matilda is not a cheery song.
I would write a song called "shootin 'roos and barbecues"

Ok
It's not a cheery song but it *is* a cheery tune. And it's got a thief in it and you can't get more Australian than a convict.
But I like the idea of a song called "Shooting 'Roo's And Barbecues"
Set to the tune of Waltzing Matilda? A win-win situation.....
Cheers

Why not...
'Shooting Roos & Barbecues' to the tune of The Archers ? It fits.
Shooting roos and barbecues, beating Poms at cricket,
You'll like it here, the Fosters beer makes Sheilas want to lick it.
The abos say "They took away our rights and like to rape us," But that's not true we say to you 'Have you ever seen that on Neighbours?'
(repeat opening tune)
It's safe, it's white, it's dynamite, don't fret about the lingo,
Bring your kids and babies too, just watch out for the dingoes.
Book your flight and get your jabs, pack your bags and cases; our kids can't wait to emigrate, so come and take their places!

Hehehe
No rush, just make sure you give Gronkpan primary credit for the opening words.
