'Australia', a song released by Welsh rock band, The Manic Street Preachers, in 1996 and charting within the UK Top 10, was about bass player Nicky Wire's desire to get as far away from Wales as possible (technically, New Zealand is furthest away), following the sad disappearance of band member Richy Edwards... 'Australia' is taken from the Manics' seminal, classic album, 'Everything Must Go'.
Epic song✨, and somehow all the more meaningful now, in light of current events in Australia... 😒
