	Music of Australia
		Aboriginal mythology tells of a period in the ancient past called the Dreamtime, during which totemic spirits wandered the continent singing the names of plants, animals and other natural features.
		Aborigines used the didgeridoo to communicate over long distances, as well as to accompany songs, and the instrument is commonly considered the national instrument of Australian Aborigines.
		Another significant Australian from this period, and one whose importance is only now beginning to be widely recognised, was the critic and journalist Lillian Roxon (1932-1973), who grew up in Brisbane but who was based in New York from 1959 until her premature death from asthma.

		Aboriginal modification of the environment, particularly through the use of fire, is also controversial.
		The word aboriginal, in use in English since the 17th century to mean "first or earliest known, indigenous", was used in Australia as early as 1789; it was soon capitalised and became the standard name for indigenous Australians.
		Aboriginal groups in other parts of Australia have their own names, such as Murri in southern Queensland, Noongar in southern Western Australia, Nunga in South Australia and Palawah (or Pallawah) in Tasmania.

	Bambooweb: Music of Australia
		In the 1960s, many musicians were caught up in the beat boom and began playing rock and roll, and audiences turned away from jazz.
		The "second wave" of Australian rock is said to have begun in about 1964, with the advent of Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs.
		By the end of the decade, artists like John Paul Young (the first Australian to have an international hit with 1978's "Love Is in the Air") were able to get on Australian radio and had developed a unique sound to Australian rock.

		Countdown was the most popular music programs in Australian TV history, and it had a marked effect on radio because of its loyal national audience -- and the amount of Australian content it featured.
		Three "Australian" acts that appeared towards the end of the Second Wave -- AC/DC, Little River Band and Split Enz -- and lasted into the late 1970s and early 1980s achieved the long sought-after international success that finally took Australasian rock onto the world stage.
		Australia, like much of the developed world, went through the "Idol" phenomenon for the first time in 2003, with the runner-up, country rock singer Shannon Noll, and the Christian R&B artist Guy Sebastian selling hundreds of thousands of copies of their hastily-recorded and mostly critically-panned (though with grudging respect of Sebastian's voice) albums.
