John Peter Farnham, Jr., formerly billed as Johnny Farnham from his professional debut in 1967 until 1980, is an English-born Australian pop singer. He earned the nickname "The Voice" for a reason! I'm a massive fan of his voice.

John Farnham is a National treasure a true vocalist singers singer. His vocal range is respected I would definitely put John Farnhsm next to Freddie Mercury and Robert Plant went come down to vocal diversity in Rock and pop music
He is the Voice

This list is about AUSTRALIAN singers, not about singers from England or any other country. If you can't read the title of this list, then it's time to have your eyes tested!

A legend!
Michael Kelland John Hutchence (22 January 1960 – 22 November 1997) was an Australian musician and actor. He was a founding member, lead singer and lyricist of rock band INXS from 1977 until his death in 1997. Michael Hutchence should be a lot higher on this list probably even number 1. No other singer from austrailia really has as versitile and solid a voice that he had and he was a great songwriter too. INXS certainly should have stayed broken up after he died.
Watch or listen to Live Baby Live, that's how its done

Delta Lea Goodrem is an Australian singer-songwriter and actress. Born and raised in Sydney, New South Wales, she enrolled in dancing, acting, singing and piano classes at a young age. I think she really had it in Aus, but she has written some rather crap song ngl
I am so extremely surprised that she wasn't already in this list. She is actually a Goddess trapped in the body of a woman. Her voice kills.
She is so underrated. She is amazing!
She is Aussie queen of pop
