Australia Day Playlist

It's my job to maintain the playlist for Radio Bog. Occasionally, I theme the playlist for the day, for instance today, to commemorate Robbie Burns, it became Jocky Bog for the day. Tomorrow it will become Radio Dunny for Australia Day. I have currently 2 hours of music of a combination of ex soap actors and half decent Ozpop. Really, I want three hours, but don't like to repeat an artist more than twice (so Kylie's on twice, as are Crowded House, but I don't want any more Kylie/Crowded House) What would you put on a radio playlist for Australia Day? And if it can go straight on without being radio edited first (I don't ever want to get a corporate rogering because of James Blunt ever again ;-)) so much the better. The demographic of the listeners, if you need to know, is kids aged 11-18 and their teachers, so I'm wary of putting anything from "Murder Ballds" in, for instance. Over to you...
