This is the melody for the National Anthem melody.
You can play it with one hand (right hand) or both. Both is best for beginners.
If doing one hand, put your left thumb on D (near middle C) and right thumb on E, as below.
More to come!

Chorus (singing)
Give me a home among the gum trees
With lots of plum trees
A sheep or two, a k-kangaroo
A clothesline out the back
Verandah out the front
And an old rocking chair.
For the rest of the song, we will just say and tap the following rhythm:
“Tahn       Tahn      Tahn    Shhhh”
Do the ‘shhhh’ quietly and do not tap your knees :-) (it means don’t make a sound)
But remember to do the kookaburra singing, just like the song does! :-)
