I tried to put together an Aussie song list (probably bands/singers most of you may not have heard of). Not really that easy - there was not a huge amount of things on seeqpod. Anyway here goes:

Hunters and Collectors - Throw your arms around me
This band is not around any longer, but they are still regulars on radio playlists. I remember seeing them in 1991?? I think after their last studio album came out. May well be best known now as one of their songs is the AFL theme song.
Powderfinger - Private Man
Not really the song I would have chosen for this band, but my choices were limited - pretty stock standard modern guitar band.
The Living End - Growing Up (Falling Down). This is the obligatory Aussie load guitar band
Hoodoo Gurus - Come Anytime.
Again, not the track I would've chosen (I have about 7 of their albums floating around the house).
Paul Kelly - Dumb Things
I had originally planned a 5 song Paul Kelly mix. Really wanted to play "Every Fucking City", but couldn't find it, but this one rates as one of my favourite of his songs. This guy is a song writing genius!
I hope you enjoy!
A few other songs for fun:

They might be Giants - New York City
Madness - It must be love
kinda soft spot for this song. This is the song we walked out of the church to after getting married.
Tears for Fears - Mad World
I almost went on a "Mad" themed list after adding this, but then I'd lose They might be Giants, so didn't
INXS - Johnson's Aeroplane
Not sure if this was ever released as a single, but it is off the "Swing" album, which was the first INXS album I ever heard. My brother bought it and it lived in my tape deck for a loonnnggg time. This is probably my favourite song from this album.
Urge Overkill - Sister Havana
I love this song - from the few seconds of silence (or nearly so) straight into an unforgettable riff.
BTW - is there an easy way to figure out total play time?
