Congratulations to Jodie McAlister on her winning response to our question in The Nelly Gang giveaway: What do you think is the biggest moment in Australian history?
A big question and has had me thinking long and hard - I think perhaps it is Cathy Freeman celebrating victory with her lap of honour carrying an Australian and Aboriginal flag. Why - because it combines many important facets of Australia; our first Australians, the recent British history of the country, a fantastically successful female ambassador, a sports hero in a country which often be united by sport and all of this on the global stage of the Olympics.
