Story: "An icon...On an icon...In an icon.
An icon...Instantly recognised as one of Australia's great personalities, Dame Edna transformed herself from housewife to international megastar, a transformation that parallels our country's growth from and isolated wild colony to an innovative player on the world stage.
On an icon...once there was a toilet out back in every yard of every house in Australia. Commonly referred to as 'The Dunny' it is a true social and economic leveler. No matter who we are, we all have to make the trip out back.
In an Icon...The Holden ute's development reflects the changing social history of this country from a practical workhouse in earlier times, to a performance focused sports vehicle for today's work-hard, play-hard generation. What a surprise for all of us to innocently discover Dame Edna on her throne, reading her local newspaper."
