Forget the rest of the marsupials, 'oos and other Australiana like the Wallabies, Wallaroos, Kangaroos, Socceroos, Matildas, Kookaburras, Hockeyroos, Sharks, Stingers, Boomers, Cockatoos, Opals, Jackaroos, Sapphires, Crocodiles and Redbacks, today we have a new, and best of all, winning team, the Crownaroos.
