Cold Chisel, Divinyls Among 2014 Sounds Of Australia Additions

A couple of classic anthems make the cut

More Cold Chisel Cold Chisel

This year's additions to the Sounds Of Australia registry have been revealed, with a handful of much-loved Aussie songs now part of the archive.

The notable additions include pub rock stalwarts Cold Chisel and their classic Khe Sanh, the provocative Boys In Town from the Divinyls, The Go-Betweens' signature track Cattle and Cane and Icehouse anthem Great Southern Land.



Indigenous radio program Deadly Sounds also made the cut for its contribution over a 21-year period.

And a dingo howling also made the list (yes, we are serious). An official recording of a dingo howling in the Northern Territory, which was taped by landscape artist Vicki Powys was among the 2014 additions.

Last year saw the likes of Archie Roach, Russell Morris and Peter Allen added to the archive. Head here for more on Sounds Of Australia.
