Williamson performing
True Blue at the memorial for
Steve Irwin (September 2006)
True Blue is a patriotic Australian folk song written in 1981 by singer-songwriter John Williamson. The song makes considerable use of Australian slang, with the title being an example of this, meaning totally Australian. True Blue is often performed at sporting events and was performed by Williamson twice on acoustic guitar at Australia Zoo during Steve Irwin's public memorial service; once shortly after the beginning ceremony, and again at the end as Irwin's truck was driven out of the Crocoseum for the final time.
