I kinda remember the theme from the Australia St. skit on the show. Feel free to add in any of the bits I've missed as I'd love to know what they were..

This is the street where all the states meet Australia Street.

(Can't remember how the next bit went but it ended with - )
Our new boys down from the west,
And Victoria still thinks she's best. (Character Name 'Victoria Bitter'.)

... And there's something rotten in the state of New South Wales,
That's about Australia's Story,
Add the Northern Territory,
And there's nothing like this wide brown land to me...
Oh and don't for get Tasmania! - (A reference to Tassie being left off map during the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony the previous year.)
The Adelaide character may have had 'Magpie' as her last name, for some reason that rings a bell.
Bonds character in this represented NSW and could have been called 'Rick Veneer' though this may have been the name of another Character on the show. The memories of his are very hazy as I only watched it pining for Doctor Who to return...
lol
