Bee GeesThought to be Americans by lots of people they were actually Australians. Bondi CigarsBondi cigars used to be a description for the turts
floating around the ocean at Bondi Beach until the sewerage works
were upgraded, but now it is the name of a Sydney blues band. Chris FranklinSterotypical Aussie bloke who had a huge hit with
his hit 'Bloke' , accompanied by a video clip of a mob of boozing
yobbos and sheilas at a barbie. The chorus goes; I'm a bloke, I'm
an ocker, And I really love your knockers, I'm a labourer by day,
I piss up all me pay, Watching footy on TV, Just feed me more VB,
Just pour my beer, And get my smokes, And go away... More

Delta GoodremDelta Goodrem is no ordinary singer...she can play the piano, sing, write songs and even act in shows. She started piano lessons at 8 years of age and began writing songs when she was 12. Born in Australia where previous stars like Kylie Minogue & Holly Valance are groomed. She's different from her fellow predecessors Kylie & Holly in that she already was an accomplished singer before she was asked to act in Neighbours, Australia's popular soap drama. She is a very talented 18 year old individual and an inspiration to many. Her achievements are all the more amazing considering she is suffering from Hodgkin's lymphoma. She performed the Australian National Anthem and some of her own songs for the Australian athletes at the Athens 2004 Olympics. Elvis Parsley

Pronounced as "in excess", this Perth based band rose to fame in the 1980's but with singer Michael Hutchence's drug use also being a bit in excess the band is now history due to him taking his life in a Sydney hotel room in 1997. Ex-lover Kylie Minogue claims to still receive visits from him.
The hero of the working class man, which is also the title of one of his songs, a bit like the Aussie version of Bruce Springsteen,( though Jimmy's music has never been used to torture prisoners like the Americans did at Guantanamo Bay with 'Born in the USA'). Together with all other Aussie singers that had been famous for a long time but were a bit on the downhill slide he sang to the world at the Sydney 2000 Olympics opening ceremony, though many people around the world wondered who this screaming old man was as his voice is not one of the purest.
John Farnham has been in the music business for a long time and was one of the classic Aussie artists chosen to sing at the Sydney 2000 Olympics. Later he also did a few concerts together with Tom Jones, though he never came near the legendary status of Tom Jones. (We reckon Tom Jones is an absolute legend because at an age where other men are stealing women's underwear from washing lines he stands on stage and women throw it at him!)
Used to travel the Aussie pubs in the 1980s where
he entertained people with his humorous Aussie songs, one of his
classics was a song about having wasted so much money on taking
girls out without getting lucky that he had drawn up a checklist.
Thousands of Aussies used to sing along to all time classic tunes
like;
Do you f#%! at first dates?
Does your dad own a brewery?
Can I feel your tits?
Do you wanna show them to me?
You can even hear some sound clips on his

Melbourne girl who started acting in the world renowned soap opera 'Neighbours' and then embarked on a career as a singer, first with songs such as 'Locomotion' but later progressed and became hugely popular in countries like the UK, both because of her ass and her voice. Her sister Dannii tried to gain similar international fame but her song in which she praises the qualities of her vibrator was not too well received.
More Little River Band music....
More Mental As Anything music....
In the past she supported the John Butler Trio and Pete Murray but then singer / songwriter Missy HIggins won the 2001 Triple J Unearthed competition and has been treating the world to her guitar driven songs and piano ballads with jazz undertones ever since.
More Natalie Imbruglia music....
'Advance Australia Fair' is today's Australian National
Anthem after 'God Save The Queen' was dumped in 1977. It took four
years of talking, thinking and voting to decide on this song, written
by Peter McCormick in 1878. It was chosen in a referendum receiving
2.9 million votes, other options 'Waltzing Matilda' (song about
a sheep thief) got 1.9 million and the Queen's song got even less
votes than the sheep thief with 1.3 million.
Advance Australia Fair was proclaimed as the national anthem by
the Governor-General on 19 April 1984
"NATIONAL ANTHEM"
Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free;
We’ve golden soil and wealth for toil;
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in nature’s gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In history’s page, let every stage
Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair.
Beneath our radiant Southern Cross
We’ll toil with hearts and hands;
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands;
For those who’ve come across the seas
We’ve boundless plains to share;
With courage let us all combine
To Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair.
You can hear this anthem on the Prime Minister's website.
