"Each year, the NFSA selects 10 recordings — from hundreds of public nominations — that have informed or reflected life in Australia to add to its collection. They include popular music, advertising themes, spoken word and radio broadcasts that are Australian and more than 10 years old.

"This year 11 sounds — spanning 96 years — have been added, instead of the usual 10, after there was a tie for 10th place from the voting panel of audio and industry experts."
