It’s probably more fitting for a video game than I Am Australian or the national anthem, to be fair.
If you haven’t caught up with the inclusion of John Curtin and Canberra in Civilization recently, they’re pretty damn good. People are fairly annoyed that the DLC has only been released for PC (leaving Mac and Linux users in the cold), but as a race the Aussies have some pretty solid bonuses.

But what’s not advertised on the DLC pack is that the Aussies come with Waltzing Matilda. Lots of it, in fact. Music Central has uploaded all of the themes from Civ 6‘s DLC, and it’s almost 13 minutes of Waltzing Maltida remixes.
Besides Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 2, which is due out later this year, this might be the most Aussie thing we see in a video game all year. Besides Australia itself, of course.
Update: Almost all of the songs are Waltzing Matilda, but as some pointed out there’s a rendition of “Click Go The Shears” as well, which you can hear separately below thanks to @kangatang. I’ve updated the headline and the article to reflect this; sorry everyone.
