So nice of Tony Abbott to commission an advertising campaign promoting Stand Up Paddling. Especially nice of him to push our sport as the new national pass time. With his support, we should overtake cricket by February.

This one is pure Gold !!

Warumpi Band - Black Fella White Fella (1987)

Wait for the chorus punch line;
Stand Up & Be Counted !!!
Looks like a bit of fun during the filming of the clip too





Some more..... My Island Home, also 1987.
There's even some Stand-Up Spear Fishing at 3mins 10Secs !



Secret War ! - Warumpi Band



Warumpi Band - Stompin' Ground
(thanks Rage / ABC)




My dog shat himself when we met this dude. The first black man my dog had seen, and the poor boy didn't know what was going on. But I sat down and played the didg with him, and my dog Bennie loved it. (this is not my video).

I just noticed something.... in the Black Fella White Fella clip. The zoomed out shot of the drum kit, with the spot light, looks very similar to the Aus Coat of Arms !!

I'm sure that's already an official aussie flag.The Torres Straight part of it.

Us is them and them is us.

Standup and be counted.
