Ralf001 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Surely the most famous Aus Band is AC/DC but I guess one would argue the Angus Brothers being born in Scotland makes them not an Aus band. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grain Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I read that Australia is the only country that still kills the animals on its coat of arms: the kangaroo & the emu, both of which are primarily considered pests and are frequently culled. The current national anthem is absurd. The original lyrics are a total embarrassment to the country today, so there have been several changes through the years removing whole verses and offensive parts. Even in its current shortened form hardly anyone knows the words other than the chorus "Advance Australia fair". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
