Austrailian rock and roll

The recent "Obscure bands" discussion inspired me to bring up another sub-genre because many of the responses mentioned a few of these groups. Who are your favorite Australian rock and roll bands? Let's be specific and mention favorite individual albums.
A few bands from down under:
AC/DC
Crowded House
the Church
Hoodoo Gurus
Hunters and Collectors (Mark Seymour solo works)
Powderfinger
Wolfmother

My favorites from this group are the Hoodoo's first 2 albums "Stoneage Romeos" and "Mars Needs Guitars"
I also really enjoy Hunters and Collectors "Human Frailty and "Under One Roof". Gotta love a band with a full time French horn player that still shakes the rafters. Every now and then it is fun to crank it up a little. The Aussies know how to rock.

Courtney Barnett is the best new artist out of Australia that I've heard in years. She's kinda exploding within alt/college radio and similar channels. Her 2 most recent albums are both worth checking out. The last one made many best of '15 lists. Cheers,

Yeah, +1 for Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds! Nocturama & The Boatman's Call are both standout LPs for me. Cheers,
