A classic trio of a pair of thongs, meat pie and footy share their thoughts on Australia: sport, beaches, the Melbourne Cup, clothing and language.
The film engages with satire to make us reflect on who we are. Ultimately, the film concludes that Australia's identity can be found in its multiculturalism.
All voice acting, filming and editing was completed by Tom Wong in the space of two days.
