January 26th marks Australia Day and in celebration of the event, we’ve put together a list of all of our favourite things to come from the land Down Under.

Home and Away
Growing up would not have been the same without Home and Away. From falling head over heels with a number of different characters, to Sally reappearing and disappearing to good old Alf saying ‘stone the crows’ the You Know We Belong Together song was the soundtrack to our formative years.
Who could forget Shane’s death too?!

Hugh Jackman
No list about things from Australia that we are thankful for could be complete without Hugh Jackman. We think the picture speaks for itself.
Koala Bears, Kangaroos and Quokkas
From cute koala bears to the wonderfully amazing kangaroos, Australia is an amazing place for animal lovers. Add in the quokka or ‘the happiest animal in the world’ and it couldn’t get any better!

Kylie Minogue
From those early days with Jason Donovan to her chart-topping dance hits, Kylie has always been a bit of a legend in our eyes.

The Brax Boys
We know, we know, we’ve talked about Home and Away already, but these beautiful lads deserve their own slot.
And more men…
Okay, it’s not our fault that Australia keeps producing fine specimens of manhood. This time, all hail the Hemsworth brothers. Sigh.
Today is a good day.
Neighbours
Hat tip to Home and Away’s sibling Neighbours. Toadie, Karl and Susan Kennedy, Harold Bishop and Lou kept the drama going for us.
Home to the jungle
Love it or hate it, I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here has become a bit of an institution in terms of TV viewing and is set in the Australian jungle.
That song
We hope the headline already put this into your head. If not, you’re welcome.

And finally… Wolf Creek
The movie that has scared people for many years, it is a firm favourite for fans of horror.
For us? Our worst nightmare.
