FED:Eclectic mix added to Aussie sound list

A century-old recording of indigenous music, a Melbourne Cup call, news reports of
Cyclone Tracy,and a Kylie Minogue song are among an eclectic mix of sounds added to the
Sounds of Australia registry.

Arts Minister SIMON CREAN says 10 new sounds will be added to Australia's audio heritage
collection.

KYLIE'S late 80s hit, I Should Be So Lucky, joins the Skyhooks classic, Living in the
70s and an ABC news story about Cyclone Tracy, which devastated Darwin in 1974.

They join an 1898 recording, the first of indigenous music and song, made by the Cambridge
Anthropological Expedition to the Torres Strait.
