In light of the recent passings of Steve Irwin and Peter Brock, I am interested in finding out which personalities (TV, sporting, entertainment etc etc) you guys would consider to be a major Australian icon (or perhaps even legend)... and explain why

NED KELLY is a real Australian legend..they hung him!
"The Breaker" HARRY MORANT..The British court martialled him & shot him.He was imortalized in the film "Breaker Morant" starring Edward Woodward.
How about entertainer JOHNNY O'KEEFE..that would give everybody something to SHOUT about.He paved they way for other musical talents to try their luck overseas first.

AC/DC - They ROCK....'nuff said.
