What have the Aussies ever done for us?

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

Inspired by latexgaz's love of the Ugg boot (yeah thanks a bunch Aus) and my love of compiling a list. I was wondering what the positive Aussie contributions to world culture have been.

I'm imcluding these for starters:

Kath & Kim

Toni Collette

Empire of the Sun

Richie Benaud

Ugg boots in their modern iteration are a strange American monstrosity.

Depending on who you ask, possibly pavlova, the flat white. Smashed avo.

I see Skippy and Cell Block H have already had a mention.

Cell Block H was classic comedy even though it was supposed to be serious.

Anyway the one that hasn't been mentioned so far is "Boney". Who remembers that one?

The Aboriginal detective played by James Lawrenson who could track a fugitive through the outback by studying dead ants.

Waltzing Matilda. Periodically there are calls to make it the national anthem, and for some reason it's been exported.

Depends which version.

I love the lyrics of the Tom Waite/Rod Stewart version. Tom Trauberts Blues, especially the last verse.

It tells a story of a guy down on his luck.

"It's a battered old suitcase, in a hotel someplace, and a wound that will never heal.

No primadonnas, the perfume is on, and an old shirt that's stained with blood and whisky.

So goodnight to the street sleepers, the night watchmen and street sweepers. And it's goodnight Matilda too".

I mean the traditional Banjo Patterson version. Man drinks tea, steals sheep, gets called on it, drowns himself.

I wasn't trying to do a put down on the original. There is nothing wrong with it.

Both versions tell a similar story.

I think the last line of the Tom Waite version (and it's goodnight Matilda too) pretty much tells you everything.
