Australia has always had a culture significantly different than the United States of America, as well as our mother, England. But, nevertheless, I have found many appreciate the beauty in Australian music. I shall endeavor to actively post in this thread to share old and new songs that were hits here, as well as overseas.

I shall kick it off with a song, widely considered the greatest Australian song of all time, Khe Sanh by Cold Chisel.
