Is there any fameous Australian beside Crocodile Dundee ?


There's also Mel Gibson and that guy, who used to play with crocodiles, he died few moths ago.

I accept the points Stefan is making, he is not having a go at Poland but just making a observation,


But you know what ? I don't want to hurt your feelings, but somethings tells me that vast majority of Poles don't give a damn what some 2 Australian guys think.

So, they don't have Australian citizenship? I am so confused now.

They probably did hold australian citizenship, but they were born outside of australia and migrated to australia with their families in their younger years.

I am actually not sure if they still hold citizenship, both nicole and mel spend more time out of oz than in it.

I assume Warney and Ponting are pretty famous, along with the Minogues and Bouncer.

Anyone who even thinks of mentioning the name Russell Crowe, will be banned from any further participation in this thread.

Dame Edna Everage
Sir Les Patterson
Barry Humphries

Messrs Castlemaine, Fosters, Coopers Pale Ale.....

Er, that's it I think, apart from the bloke with the webbed feet that won a lot of swimming gold medals.

Too right blue, you can't forget the Thorpedo!

Others I guess would be Germaine Greer and Skippy, who did his kangerooing in the bush.

I suppose I should include Harry Kewell even though he only plays half a game a season for Liverpool and his wife goes on celebrity reality shows.

And there's that famous horse Phar Lap

Rupert b****y Murdoch and Kerry b****y Packer

Greg Norman

Ned Kelly

Sir Don Bradman

Yvonne Goooollagonnggggg

And that is the sum total of my knowledge. Anyway most of Australia is living in South Kensington now so it's all irrelevant

rachael is from new zealand.

you all forgot gary ablett, but you will have to google him to find out who he is.

i also think the following were missed:

- hugh jackman
- heath ledger
- naomi watts


PS: Russell Crowe was born in New Zealand, and they dont want to claim him anymore so we are stuck with them.

yes, you are right..."was born to Australian parents in Honolulu, Hawaii and consequently has dual citizenship of Australia and the United States."

maybe it is her dubious taste in men that makes me think she is from another land!!

I can assure you that in Australia nothing could be further from people's minds-that is Poland and what goes on there.
