My husband, not that he is from there, but he served and lived there for two years. Sydney, AU, my daughter's namesake. And seemless change holders, they make great gag gifts.
Simon Baker is my fave on your list.
I had no idea that all of these people were Australian. Who knew?
Love Outback Steakhouse, and I thought The Man from Snowy River would be higher on your list. Goodday Mate. Oh and can't forget Steve Iwine.
Kris I know! I remembered Steve this morning. What a character.
Fun list... I can't think of any more to add. Koalas?
That cake looks fantastic!

And I LOVE THE MENTALIST. He breaks my heart every week with his tragic story. GREAT show! (Did you see him in The Guardian?)
