| Additional information |
Slim Dusty — born David Gordon Kirkpatrick in Kempsey, New South Wales — recorded "A Pub with No Beer" in 1957, which became the first Australian record to achieve international chart success. He spent decades performing across remote Australia, often reaching communities that saw almost no live entertainment, logging an estimated 8 million kilometres of travel over his career. He died in September 2003, the same year he was awarded the AC, Australia's highest civilian honour.
