Ooops, no: "Waltzing Matilda" is an Australian bush ballad (and not even a waltz! it's written in 4/4 time). Eric Bogle's song "And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda" is eentirely different: the latter was the one written about the ANZACs at Gallipoli.

Part of the reason that it's so important as OF points out is that it was the first time that the Australian & New Zealanders fought as a unit under their own flag: ANZAC is the acronym of Australian-New Zealand Army Corps. Very much the coming of age experience for them as nations.
