Haha thanks everyone for the suggestions.
To summarise the list we have:
Kangaroos
The Big Prawn
Stars with the Southern Cross at the 12th
Spiders
Snakes
Sharks
Boomerangs
Bush Hats
Footballs, Meat Pies, Kangaroos and Holdens
The state and territory outlines with the whole of Aus as the 12th
Starts with Federation Star as the 12th and Southern Cross on Headstock
The Big Merino
Goulburn Supermax (haha)
Lamingtons
Thongs
Hills Hoist
I'm still unsure, I actually have an idea but I have to be honest it is out of my depth and not sure I could pull it off.
I saw this PRS and thought it would be cool to do an Australian image that is a collage of the iconic things but I am nowhere near artistic enough to blend everything together and make it look good and not tacky. And the inlaying would be incredibly difficult. I suppose if I could find an airbrush artist that could be an option.
Build #1 - TLA-1Q
Build #2 - Scratch Thinline Tele
Build #3 - Scratch Rickenbacker 330/12
Build #4 - Scratch All Aussie Timber Strat
Build #5 - 1st Violin/Fiddle
Pedal Build #1 - Aion Gale
Pedal Build #2 - Aion Aurora
That guitar makes me think of the Sydney skyline.
Mantra: No more pedals, must finish BlueyCaster...

What about a montage of all your favourite politicians?
