Their 60s hits included: "I'll Never Find Another You", "A World of Our Own" , "The Carnival is Over" (which the Seekers sung at various closing ceremonies in Australia, including Expo '88 and the Paralympics), "Someday One Day", "Walk With Me", "Morningtown Ride", and "When Will The Good Apples Fall". Their tune "Georgy Girl" in particular served as the title song of the film of the same name. These songs have had significant airplay on 'oldies' radio stations over the years.
Bruce Woodley and The Rain, The Park and Other Things's "I Am Australian", which has been recorded by The Seekers, and by singer Judith Durham with Russell Hitchcock and Mandauway Yunupingu, has become an unofficial Australian anthem.

The Seekers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Till the sun dries up the sea
Until then I'll always be
Devoted to you
I'll be yours through endless time
I'll adore your charm sublime
Guess by now you'll know that I'm
I'll never hurt you I'll never lie
I'll never be untrue
I'll never give you reason to cry
I'd be unhappy if you were blue
Through the years my love will grow
Like a river it will flow
It can't die because I'm so
Devoted to you
I'll never hurt you I'll never lie
I'll never be untrue
I'll never give you reason to cry
I'd be unhappy if you were blue
Through the years my love will grow
Like a river it will flow
It can't die because I'm so
Devoted to you

She has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard... Lord, please heal her so she can continue to bless us.

Judith was arguably as good a singer as any female vocalist since 1950. Carly Simon's recording of this song is excellent, but this is the best version.
