Exports from Australia

I'm going to start a new series called: Exports from Australia. While we are waiting to hear from Carol, we'll be able to read about various contributions in arts, entertainment, customs, etc from Australia.

For the first edition, I'd like to introduce you to Australia's own: The Wiggles.

That's right! Greg, Anthony, Jeff and Murray Wiggle hail from Australia. Greg, Anthony and Murray met in college in Sydney while studying early childhood eduacation. For a music project, they wrote some children's songs. They collaborated with Jeff (who had played in a band with Anthony) and they formed The Wiggles. Read more about The Wiggles here. (You know you want to.)

Greg eventually left the Wiggles a couple years ago due to health reasons. Now Sam joins the gang in Greg's yellow garb.

The Wiggles now have Gold and Platinum Album status, they are the most popular performing act in Australia and they travel the world performing Wiggly Concerts.
