Here's an obscure one. Eccentric Aussie composer Percy Grainger wrote this about the people of Victoria who were nicknamed gumsuckers as they loved to suck the sweet gum of the eucolyptus tree which was prolific in Victoria.

I found so many great bands when I lived out there, aided by a local and national radio network that was happy to play a lot of alternative stuff. Favourite aussie band probably The Living End, but favourite track right now...
Right, so here’s a song I heard on the radio in about 77 or 78 and my snotty, punky self thought, “I love that!” but I didn’t get who it was by and never heard the bloody song again. Then a good 20-odd years or so later, I was in the bog in some hotel room with MTV or some music channel on … and there came that riff. Brilliant stuff ….
