Without going too obscure, who are the "Australiana" bands that never got big outside of Australia? And I am more thinking bands that didn't translate to foreign audiences, as opposed to bands that were just not good enough to get famous overseas.

As mentioned there is TISM, and Cold Chisel. But who else are/were superstars in Oz, but nobodies overseas?

I would posit Crowded House as a band that fits this criteria. As well as possibly Savage Garden and Human Nature. Darryl Braithwaite also qualifies as a local superstar who would be unknown anywhere else.

Silverchair maybe? they're a pretty nineties touchstone

could go further back to like The Easybeats and John Paul Young maybe

Gonna offer "Wake in fright" for bleakest Australiana film.

I love Wake in Fright

The Mockingbird is a recent dynamite Aussie film but it's harrowing. Same with Snowtown

also I think Wolf Creek 2 is better than the original and has a much weirder take on white australians

Trippy taco for veg stuff as well and it’s either amazing or total dogshit, no in between, depending on what substances the backpackers in the kitchen are on at the time.

the tofu asada burrito i had from TT was unreal, one of the nicest things i've ever eaten

Now Phillip Adams is someone who I will legitimately mourn when he dies
There's probably heaps of stuff I never heard of, I mean he worked for the Labor party and in the film industry, but I liked his radio show and he generally seemed to have good opinions and a sense of humour

yeah I love LNL on RN, it's been on my arvo commute for years now and is still as sort of provoking and comforting as ever

RRR is where it's at. Where else can you listen to 18 different genres of music, a crystal huffing space cadet dropping obscure knowledge about gong music, and an old man constantly saying gently caress the libs on live radio - all in a single day?

community radio still owns. Three D rules

My mates dad had a Fairlane with those lighters
I thought it was because Fairlanes were considered cars you might chauffeur people around in

my first car was a beat up old fairlane and it had five cigarette lighters; one in each door (including rear passenger doors) and one in the centre display

wish i smoked back then, what a waste

The Mark Mitchell fact I like is that because Channel 10(?) owned the rights to the "Con the fruiterer" character, Mark started writing and including more skits with his wife 'Marika', to whom he owned the rights.

Just to gently caress with the owners of The Comedy Company. Which I think is cool.

my childhood brain is reeling from this, it had never been put together than Con the Fruiterer is loving GRIBBLE
