A poignant scene unfolded at Bondi Beach’s memorial site when a young man began to sing “I Am Australian,” a well-known song by The Seekers from 1995.

A large crowd had gathered to honor the 15 victims of Sunday’s terrorist attack, placing flowers and offering tributes. Amidst this solemn gathering, the young man’s voice rose with the song’s familiar refrain.

“I am, you are, we are Australian,” he sang.

As he continued, his voice was soon joined by others, creating a harmonious chorus among the diverse group of mourners from Sydney.

The emotional moment was captured on video and shared across social media, with many noting that there was “not a dry eye in the crowd.”

In response to the video, Matthew came forward to identify himself as the singer who led the moving tribute.

He said it had been a tough few days for him since the terrorist attack and that he was quite nervous to sing, but wanted to do something that showed the Jewish community they deserve to be safe in Australia.

“But it was wonderful to see everyone so kind and so supportive,” he said.

“I wanted to do just something small to show that we as a city, and as a person with a disability myself, that the disability community supports the Bondi Beach, and Australian Jewish community, and that they’re welcome here, and deserve to be safe, just like everyone of all backgrounds and faith,” he said.

Australia is mourning the nine-minute attack at the country’s most popular beach, which left 15 people, more than 40 injured and countless lives changed forever.

A pile of flowers, candles and messages are growing at the memorial site outside Bondi Pavillon.

The families of the victims and political figures like Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, NSW Premier Chris Minns and Opposition Leader Sussan Ley have attended to pay tribute.
