    I'm surprised that little things like Ayres Rock, Sydney Harbour bridge, Opera house, Parliment house, Slunnie's Land Rover and Phar Lap are not on that list.
    Cheers

    Ned Kelly's armour is more iconic than his skull. Who would recognise his skull if they were shown a photo of it?
    His ultra-cool armour, though...

    Okay, I am born and bred Aussie and fairly patriotic and proud but obviously severely un-Australian, as I have not previously heard of numbers 6, 7, 9 and 10.

    If it were food, I'd almost expect dim sims to rate higher in these people's list than Chiko Rolls.
