Here are Australian's Top 10 Sporting Moments:
Equal 8-10. Rod Laver; Swans' 2005 grand final win; World Series Cricket
7. Phar Lap
6. Kieren Perkins's win in Atlanta 1996
5. Cathy Freeman's gold in Sydney
4. Anything Bradman
3. Socceroos qualifying for the 2006 World Cup
2. Sydney 2000
1. Australia II's America's Cup victory
I found this list quite interesting. Particularly owing to the absence of Women Sports stars who are absent from this list (however some are mentioned in the article). Most noticeably to me were the Hockyroos (three consective Olympic Gold Medals); Dawn Fraser, Evonne Goolagong-Cawley, Shirly Strickland, Shane Gould, and more recently Susie O'Neil.
