Strewth! Colour us cobbers surprised, because we weren't expecting to see us Aussie drongos making an appearance in Civilization VI anytime soon-erydoo. That's right, coming soon to the excellent Civilization VI, Australia! The land down under, beaches, beer, cork hats, and so forth. Okay, so it's easy to poke fun at Australia's isolation from the rest of the world, but this news is pretty damn cool considering how great a game Civilization VI is.

So then, who's going to lead us in the high staked game of world domination and diplomacy? Well that would be our 14th Prime Minister, John Curtin, who served from 1941 to 1945. He led us during World War II but sadly passed away whilst in office.
