Watch Great Australian Stuff

We're a nation that loves to play. Almost 80% of us do a sport every week, a fifth of us regularly go to the footy every year, and we make 300 million visits to the beach, which is why play has given us some of our most memorable icons - like Speedos, the Sherrin football, a dress made from polystyrene balls, and our most popular museum attraction: a horse's heart.

It's 'sweet'! It's where the heart is! Yes, it's the Home. In this episode of 'Great Australian Stuff', Tony Armstrong opens the front door onto some of our best-known, strangest, and daggiest icons inspired by all-things domestic.

Australia is the land that just keeps on giving: the Akubra, the Boomerang, the Kelpie and, yes, the Permanent Pleat! In this episode, Tony Armstrong explores all the stuff from the land that's become iconic and recognisable as Great Australian Stuff.

Chiko Rolls! Vegemite! Freddo Frogs! Join Tony Armstrong as he tucks into the stories behind some of Australia's most iconic foods. Why was there no Greek food at Greek Milk Bars? What compels us to eat 270 million meat pies a year? And what exactly is in a Chiko Roll?
