If you read the bottom of the clip Austen Tayshus spoke it and Billy Birmingham (the 12th man) wrote it

I saw the ad the other day and loved it

Umm, Yep. Thats what it says on the site.


The Subaru Outback is Made for Australiana and what better way to celebrate its arrival than a TV commercial that pays homage to the classic Aussie comedy performance Australiana, written by comedy legend Billy Birmingham and performed by Austen Tayshus. Subaru teamed up with the two to create the next chapter for Australiana

not bad, i just keep comparing all car adds in my head to probably fords worst add, the walking fingers, god damn if that wasnt the most boring car commercial ever invented, truly it just made me want to instantly start channel surfing.
one of my favorite ford ads was the f series carrying the landcruiser up the steep track.

saw it today, first time I haven't skipped a youtube ad.

I think Ford Aus could also learn something from their parent company, this mustang ad is a corker https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vOoQnTIMAQ

In 1967 to promote the new Galaxie,Ford US ran one down a ski jump and over a steeplechase jump.They would have been good TV ads.

They should just rerun the ba xr ad and edit footage with fgx. Would be cheap to do

After all these years I cant forget it. One of the best car ads in my mind.

18 seconds into that Falcon ad he sings “I don’t want the world to change”.

Ford must have been listening.
