Williamson suggested to Rod Macqueen the coach of the Australia national rugby union team the song "Waltzing Matilda" may inspire the team; nicknamed "The Wallabies" against the All Blacks. The offer was accepted and on 28 August 1999, Williamson sang "Waltzing Matilda" at Stadium Australia, Sydney in front of a (then) world record rugby crowd of 107,042 people. After being inspired by the Wallabies Williamson wrote and recorded "A Number On My Back". [1]

"The Baggy Green" was written with Gavin Robertson and Steve Waugh and features Waugh on vocals as well as the Boys of The Bankstown District Cricket Association.

gollark: Often I just use computer cases, though.
gollark: Which makes it MILDLY less annoying.
gollark: Being able to program microcontrollers is mildly cool, but it also means I have to wait for an electronics assembler, they can't interact with external components, and they're very irritating to debug (apparently *deliberately?!*). CC computers boot fairly quickly anyway.
gollark: CC workflow for setting up a computer to do things:- (auto)craft computer- place computer- write code/download code onto computer as startupOC workflow:- figure out what cards/other components it needs- queue autocrafting for everything- wait a while while autocrafting runs, and possibly converts some coal into diamonds- pull autocrafted stuff out of ME network, put into computers, be sure to get the right items- find openOS disk, disk drive- install openOS- write/download code- either move code to `boot` or work out how `rc` works
gollark: I play on servers. I can't just edit the recipes.
