Being Australian is probably more about experiences and a state of mind than anything else. So what song best articulates those experiences and attitudes?

I thought of this song from the the 80's, but there must be lots more.

Hunters & Collectors, "Betty's Worry or The Slab." This one's got it all: beer-drenched carousing, Aussie Rules football, and a time-lapse drive from Melbourne to the Outback. And it's where I learned you could call a case of beer a "slab."

I was going to say Cattle and Cane but it's been taken, so I choose this instead it's not a song though, it's a stand up routine it's a bit dated but it's a classic
