Australian Music
In preparation for the launch of The Aussie Insider, we've had our (somewhat eclectic) collection of Australian music on at TheInsiderTravelGuides.com offices lately and thought we'd share some of our favorites with you. We listen to everything from the country classics of Slim Dusty and John Williamson to the 1980's group Men at Work, who's hit "Down Under" became an unofficial national athem during the 1983 World Cup Challenge. For ex-pats, there is nothing like Peter Allen's "I Still Call Australia Home" (in fact we're not above putting on a recording of the entire "Boy from Oz" album). Of course bush music is at the heart of Australian culture, so we include the sea-shanty-like tunes from the likes of the Snake Gully Bush Band. The didgeridoo is almost synomonous with traditional Australian music, so no collection would be complete without a few didgeridoo selections. Top it all off with "Waltzing Matilda" and "Advance Australia Fair" (the latter being the official national anthem, despite what many think!) and we're done!
