Prime Minister Scott Morrison says he has been encouraged by the strong response from Australians to a change in Advance Australia Fair that recognises our "timeless land of ancient First Nations peoples".
Indigenous leaders have also welcomed the new wording.
From Friday, the second line of Australia's national anthem will change from, "For we are young and free" to "For we are one and free".

First Nations Foundation chairman and Yorta Yorta man Ian Hamm said the fresh line was an important symbol.
"You do need symbolic change, you do need real change.
"This is an important indication to ourselves as a country as to what our expectations are going forward, and to recognise in our national anthem the continued human occupation of this continent from 60,000 years plus to 1 January 2021, and beyond, is an important change.
"We're very definitely not young."..

I can only approve of this very tiny symbolic gesture.

One step closer to us signing a real treaty on our inaugural independence day into our new constitution and doing away with that silly flag and song.
Republicanism can be a real big leap forward for Australia if they allow it.
