Mitch Tambo’s take on the Icehouse classic anthem ‘Great Southern Land’ in Gamilaraay language
“Having the blessing of the man himself Iva Davies to embark on this journey of creating our own version of ‘Great Southern Land’ has made the foundations solid. Reigan is an incredible artist in her own rite and to be able to work with her has been a real privilege.” – Mitch Tambo
All those talking politicians
Words are easy, words are cheap
Much cheaper than our priceless land
But promises can disappear
Just like writing in the sand
Treaty Yeh Treaty Now
Treaty Yeh Treaty Now
Nhima Djatpangarri nhima walangwalang -
Nhe Djatpayatpa nhima gaya nhe-
Matjini....
This land was never given up
This land was never bought and sold
The planting of the Union Jack
Never changed our law at all
Yothu Yindi - Treaty (Original Version)

You're standin' on solid rock
Standin' on sacred ground
Livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Are blowin' down the line
Right down the line
