Australian Epic swings between interviews with the real-life players and musical numbers that put a satirical spin on the material.
The stories receiving the complete razzle-dazzle makeover include the unlikely triumph of ice-skater Steven Bradbury, the fairy tale of the young Tasmanian woman Mary Donaldson, the international meltdown caused by Johnny Depp’s pet dogs, Pistol and Boo, the comedy of errors that befell Melbourne’s cursed Ferris wheel, the saga of Schapelle Corby and the political showdown of the Tampa affair.

Lyrics:
Some dream of Paris
Or the glamour of New York
Some head to New Zealand
To go on some exhausting walk.
Others seek adventure
In the mountains of Nepal
But the perfect holiday for me
Is a place to do stuff-all.
Ooh, I wanna get my Bali high
A place where worry disappears
If I could, I’d stay for years
Ooh, I wanna get my Bali high
It’s like an Indonesian Gold Coast
My bogan mecca by the sea
Bali High - the only place for me.
Let’s get a Bali High.
I love the golden beaches
And how the locals have no cares
I love how all their rice fields
Look like giant, bright green stairs
I love the Hindu culture
The cute customs that they keep
But most of all I love
How everything’s so fucking cheap!
The villas come with butlers
To swipe away the mozzies
And every bar in town, thank god
Is filled with fellow Aussies.
(Wahay!)
We braid our hair each morning
That’s totes mandatory
And every night a topless swim
In a pool filled with Midori.
Ooh, let’s get a Bali High
Aussies do just what we like
Look, I’m on a motorbike!
Ooh, let’s get a Bali High
It’s like a hen’s night every evening
One rare taste of luxury
Bali High - a place made just for me.
Let’s get a Bali High.
It’s the place where Aussies think that everyone’s beneath ya
A playground for all Westerners who can’t afford Ibiza.
People often go there
To discover who they are
So desperate to visit
They’ll even fly Jetstar.
And as a trained beautician
I see the beauty of that place
Especially in the temples
Full of Schoolies off their face.
Your western decadence
Might come at quite a price.
But don’t our nightclubs
Just improve your paradise?
You ruined Kuta
It’s become a crowded hell.
Well now we flock to Ubud
So we can ruin that as well!
Ooh, we all need a Bali High
You’re not an Aussie till you’ve been
Hope we meet a footy team.
Ooh, we all need a Bali High
We’ll get obnoxious tattoos
As a lifelong memory of
Bali High
It’s a motorbike tattoo nightclub footy team bargain bogan Mecca by the sea.
The perfect place for me!
