Do you know little about Australia? Do you yearn to know more? Lucky for you, your pal Chewbecca knows a thing or two and is willing to share!

Post ITT and I'll assign you an artefact of Australiana. Might be a video, or a song, or an image, or a food, orbs place, or anything really. But if you want to learn more about Australia then crikey cobber, you've come to the right place! :australia:

You've got Australian pop sensation Guy Sebastian!

Guy Sebastian is best known as the winner of the first Australian Idol in 2003, as a judge on Australia's version of The X-Factor, and finishing 5th in the Eurovision Song contest in 2015. He is currently a coach on Australia's version of The Voice.

On Australian Idol the catchphrase of his supporters was "go the fro" on account of his hair.

What you don't know is that I paid upwards of $1.29aud to have his winning song as my ringtone. Also I don't like him anymore, but I might have had a lil crush back then :blush:

You've got the character EC from the Australian children's television show 'Lift Off' which ran from 1992 to 1995. EC stands for "every child" with the idea being the character is blank, and children can superimpose their it imaginative onto it.



I personally found EC creepy as all get out!

enjoy a random episode of Lift Off while we are at it

You have been given Kyle Minogue's golden hotpants!

Kylie Minogue is one of the stars of the stars of the Australian soap opera Neighbours. She is also a pop star who has enjoyed many decades of fame. However what we are focussing on is Kylie's golden hotpants! Her hotpants have been donated to the Melbourne Performing Arts Archive as an item of significance. Rumour has it she bought them from a market in Melbourne for less than a dollar! (reference: https://camberwellsundaymarket.org/2018/07/21/number-5-eight-fun-facts-about-camberwell-sunday-market/)

You have the twelve apostles!

The Twelve Apostles is a series of limestone towers, and is located on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria. While it's called the twelve apostles there are only 7 towers (there were formally 8, but one collapsed).
