[edit] "Unofficial anthem"
I'm not sure that it is appropriate to label Waltzing Matilda as an "Unofficial Anthem". My own composition of the tune from Airwolf could be considered unofficial. The tune certainly has a national presence, and would be a favourite to become the next anthem if a change was needed. Move it to an "Australian Folk Songs" registry perhaps?
I don't think this article should be placed in this category, as it only covers "offical" national anthems.

[edit] Sheet Music
Anyone know where on earth, other than McPherson original, to find sheet music for this?
