To celebrate this gorgeous day, we're bringing you an Edna-rama assembly of antipodean antics and megastar magic!
First off, a link to the Australia Day Keynote Address given by Sir Michael Parkinson. Of course, little Michael couldn't talk about Australia without referencing the country's greatest gift to the world - Dame Edna Everage! He noted:
“Dame Edna Everage once said -

that Australians are good at sport because of
'the sun, the diet, the healthy outdoor life
and the total lack of intellectual stimulation'."
