Songs By Awesome Aussie Female Singers, Vol. 1

For whatever reason, I've always had a strong affinity for Australian female singers. In fact, many of my favorite female singers of all time hail from Down Under. Knowing that, it shouldn't be much of a surprise that this post now exists, nor should it be altogether shocking that I couldn't fit all the good songs/singers into just one post. So tomorrow I'll share another 20 of them. Hope you'll enjoy these as much as I do!  ~  JH
