For this week's Five On Friday I'm heading below the equator for a taste of all things Australian with 5 stars from its flag and music. Just for the record, I liked the image above because it was in the shape of the country, but the actual flag has six stars - 5 making up the Southern Cross and then the seven pointed Commonwealth Star in honor of the 1901 Federation of the States and Territories of Australia.
A classic surfing movie Morning of the Earth and a thoughtful theme song
Can't do a set like this without the genius of Tommy Emmanuel on guitar.
The Amazing Peter Allen with his tribute to the land of his birth
Slim Dusty with a country song very very Southern style
Redgum and a poignant story song

Australians have their own distinct musical style, which I enjoy. But it's still very interesting just how much some of their music sounds like ours in the US.
