Less than six months after bathing in the international attention that came with hosting the Olympic Games, Australians are celebrating their nation's 100th birthday.

Two Australians who opened the festivities on the Games' final night jetted into Tokyo recently to emcee the Australia Society Ball, held Jan. 27, a day after the nation cheered Australia Day.

Rampaging Roy Slaven and H.G. Nelson are possibly the nation's favorite comedians, following the success of their nightly Olympic commentary on "The Dream," screened on host broadcaster The Seven Network.
