girt by sea
=
surrounded by sea


Mel
I assume you're referring to "girt by sea"

Girt means to surround, so in this case its saying that Australia is surrounded by sea.

No one uses the word girt and many of us fail to see why its used in the national anthem.


Goanna Dundee
yeah your probly right,girth may be a derivative of girt as in around yor waist (surrounded), by sea.

Don't know the anthem but "girt" would normally be an archaic (and somewhat poetic) variation of "girdled". Someone could be "girt" with a belt, for example.
