Famous Australians

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

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.

more famous Australians: Nicole Kidman, Olivia Newton John, The Bee Gees, Andy Gibb, Keith Urban, Baz Luhrmann. Are they famous in Europe?

Nicole Kidman = USA (born in Hawaii)
The Bee Gees, Andy Gibb = Actually British
Keith Urban = New Zealand
Mel Gibson = Born in the USA

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.

Yep, Mel lives in Malibu and Nicole lives in Nashville.

and neither of them where born in OZ

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.

I am sorry Huegel, but I have to inform you that you are being banned from the thread!

To remain on topic.....hmmmm......Daniel LaPaine is from Australia I believe. And of course, our own forum celebrity, Lef.

Dame Edna Everage
Sir Les Patterson
Barry Humphries

to name but one.

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.

Excellent.

Clive James of course and where would we be without Steffan Dennis?



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.

OMG.....how could I forget, tennis player, PATRICK RAFTER (grrrrrrr)!

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

Is Rachel Hunter---model and Rod Stewarts Ex, from Australia?

I think so and you just reminded me....


Elle McPherson

I'm sorry Elle, please forgive me. I'll call later

what about Kylie?

kevin *bloody* willson... and why has nobody mentioned rolf harris... undoubtably the greatest artist of the 20th C...



that would be steve *damn-the-feker-got-me* irwin...

....because anybody who sang 'Two Little Boys' is best forgotten, that's why !

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.

hmmm in from Oz to guys

Born in America...does that count for being Australian?

Wasn't Andy Warhol Australian?

Thanks Ranj, you Americans have good tastes, and know what your are talking about, I can't include you as a famous American (yet) but your getting there!

The wizard was from OZ. My favorite movie. Anyone remeber it?

any man who ties his kangaroo down is worth a mention...

Are these really Australian? I thought they were from England. What do I know.

Kidman is a Australian, both parents were Australian, father who was doctor who moved to USA , returned to Oz when Nicole was 4yoa. She has a lot of properties in oz

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.

And that's really fantastic... But did you really need to wake up months old topc ?
