Talk:Australian Dream

Song: Home among the gum trees
The following listing is inaccurate: "Home among the gum trees (Australian folk song, by John Williamson)"

The song is by Bob Brown and Wally Johnson: see National Library of Australia catalogue entry for Home among the gum trees and Williamson's website entry.

 * I've removed the entry. I did consider changing it to "... popularised by John Williamson" - but then I'd have to find some evidence that it was. In any case, it seems to me (at the risk of WP:OR) that the song is more about the location (in the bush, "among the gum trees"), than the ownership (which is the essense of the Australian dream) of the house.

Quarter acre under sky
What about this term (or derivatives) thrown around when talking about the Aussie dream, the idea that the home, should have a decent sized backyard to let the kids have a kick-around with the footy and perhaps a swimming pool as a bonus.

also as a juxtoposition shouldn't there be talk of newer, Asian migrants often preferring inner-city apartments and high-rises, and leading to over-development pressures within capital cities.
