Who was the first Australian born singer to top the British charts and what was the song?

[Cetti]

It's probably Frank Ifield with 'I Remember You' in 1961 - even though he was born in Coventry of Australian parents.

Rolf Harris? 'Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport' got to No.9 for 13 weeks in July 1960.

[Jabba]

It was The Seekers, who reached No.1 in 1965 with the song "I'll Never Find Another You".

[Jabba]

The vocalist of The Seekers was Judith Durham, incidentally.
