SBS language broadcasts added to iconic Sounds of Australia collection

Ten extraordinary audio recordings illustrating Australia’s cultural and political landscape have been added to the National Film and Sound Archive’s Sounds of Australia collection. The 2024 additions include the first Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander Australian to use recorded sound to document Aboriginal culture; hip hop; speeches; a theme tune; the launch of what is now SBS Audio; an advertising jingle for an iconic Australian beer; and the last known recording of a now-extinct species.
