Music legends honoured at Aus Day lunch

KYLIE Minogue finally has the stamp to confirm she's Australian pop royalty.

Minogue is among 10 Australian music legends featured on a new edition of Australia Post stamps unveiled at an Australia Day lunch in Brisbane on Thursday.

The others are AC/DC, Cold Chisel, INXS, John Farnham, Men at Work, Ian "Molly" Meldrum, Olivia Newton-John, Paul Kelly and The Seekers.

"Nothing is more important to us than to be recognised by our fellow Australians, our countrymen and our families, who are all Australian," INXS drummer Jon Farriss told the crowd at the launch.

"And for that reason we're very honoured."

Queensland Premier Campbell Newman said the tribute was a great way to mark Australia Day.

"When we hear either INXS or Men At Work playing in a London pub or a Boston tavern, my gosh you're proud," he said.

Mr Newman also said he felt stirred by the music of indigenous Australians.

"It is an amazing land and it gets inside your soul," he said.

"And when I hear Aboriginal music - the didgeridoo - and I see the cultural performances of so many Aboriginal people... that becomes part of me as well, and I take that wherever I go around the world.

Queensland's biggest Australia Day celebrations will take place at Brisbane's South Bank parklands on Saturday.
