===The tradition of an Australian Christmas Eve carol service lit by candles was started in 1937 by radio announcer Norman Banks. This outdoor service has now been held in [|Melbourne] every year since then.=== ===Carols by Candlelight events today range from huge gatherings, which are televised live throughout the country, to smaller local community and church events. Sydney's [|Carols in the Domain] has become a popular platform for the stars of stage and music. Some uniquely [|Australian Christmas carols] have become popular and are included alongside the more traditional carols sung at carol services and at Christmas church services: John Wheeler's //[|The Three Drovers]// is perhaps the best known of these. Many light hearted Australian Christmas songs have become an essential part of the Australian Christmas experience. These include Rolf Harris's //[|Six White Boomers]//, Colin Buchanan's [|//Aussie Jingle Bells//] and the [|//Australian Twelve Days of Christmas//].===
