It is the exact translation of the Dutch expression "Hollands Glorie" which means something like "long live Australia" and which is used especially in regards to Holland's Maritime past. Remember that the first European steps on Australia's soil where made by Dutch mariners ! Fortunately for you they showed no interest to claim this land otherwise you would speak Dutch now ! like many people in South Africa still do.
