Hi Wotcha,

A classic Oz song is the Pub With No Beer. I don't know how well known this one is, but it's a good one: When the Rain Tumbles Down in July.

You could add Willy McBride to go with And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda - 2 Eric Bogle war songs.

I looked up the Mudcat Links page, and here are a couple of Australian music sites.
