I think its about the hard workers of a country. That they are the backbone of the country and they should be the people others look up to.They dont want praise, just recognition. The song gives examples of places that hard workers work and what sorts of jobs hard workers do. True Aussie Spirit, selflessness and work ethic.

Sorry folks, it has nothing to do with Bathurst at all. ACE 22 up there has the right general idea.
