Former Prime Minister Bob Hawke is one of the most Australian Australian's to have ever lived, and he has lived up to his reputation overnight.

In front of a 15,000-strong crowd, he smashed out this rousing rendition the classic Aussie tune Waltzing Matilda.

"This place is uniquely Australian," Hawke said, "and there’s something else that’s uniquely Australian – and that’s Waltzing Matilda."

Woodford Folk Festival runs from December 27 – January 1 roughly 70km north of Brisbane.
