Eurovision Song Contest: Australia to compete in 2015
Australia is to compete at this year's Eurovision Song Contest.
Organisers invited the country to participate as part of the contest's 60th anniversary celebrations.
"It's a daring and at the same time incredibly exciting move. It is our way of saying let's celebrate this party together!" contest supervisor Jon Ola Sand said.
Australia will be fast-tracked to the final, which will take place in Vienna, Austria, on 23 May.

Morocco was in it once; Israel has won it, and regularly participates; and Lebanon was going to, but ended up in silly denial about Israel being in it too.
By geographical definitions, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia aren't in Europe either.
