Top 10 (New) Aussie Albums

As Baz Luhrmann’s Australia epic, starring Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman, blows up a dust storm of Aussie sentiment, we thought we’d get warm and fuzzy about our local music scene, too. We’re not too shabby, you know. With the likes of Kylie, INXS, The Bee Gees, Keith Urban, Olivia Newton John and, erm, Rolf Harris, emerging from our shores, our cred is on a global scale. See below for our top 10 newly-released Aussie albums, complete with review. Howzat!
