FSC Australia

Australia, with a population of approximately 22.4 million people, is one of the more isolated FSC participants, situated south of Asia, bordering the Pacific, Indian and Southern oceans. With an array of cultures, Australia has become a multicultural society, welcoming immigrants from Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas.
Australia's capital is Canberra, with a population of approximately 400,000 people. It is situated between the two major and more commonly known cities Melbourne and Sydney - where the 12th edition of FSC was held.
Australia has participated 98 times in FSC with five wins.
==FSC Australia timeline==
Australia has participated in 73 FSC Editions to date, with their best entry being a winner in the 22nd edition of FSC with Short Stack and her song Planets, with 141 points. However, they have not been so lucky every edition, resulting in two 16th place position in FSC #10 and #14. Australia withdrew from the contest after the 11th edition, even though they won that edition. Regardless, Sydney, Australia hosted the 12th edition of FSC. Australia returned for the 16th edition of FSC and was happy with a 7th place. This regenerated interest in Australia's FSC participation for the future. Australia won once again in the 20th and 22nd editions of FSC.
2011 has seen a decrease in the popularity of Australian music with 26th and 37th places in recent editions of the contest, and is in discussion of withdrawal from future editions. The most successful song for Australia in 2011 was a third place in March with the return of Zoe Badwi after winning in October 2010.
Australia has hosted the contest five times, 3 times in Sydney and once each in Brisbane and Melbourne. Australia has enjoyed a few successful streaks but has finished last once. Australia left the contest after the 128th edition and returned to the contest in the 152nd.
