Australia are competing at this year's Eurovision song contest, strangely, and the bookies reckon Sia or Iggy Azalea could be their entry.

The contest will be held on 23 May in Austria after the nation's Conchita Wurst won 2014's event. Apparently the show is very popular down under, and to celebrate turning 60, the show has fast-tracked Australia to the final as wildcard entry - it is, unless they win the show, a one-off.

William Hill have already slapped odds on big-name Australians that might perform:

8/1 Sia; 9/1 Iggy Azalea; 14/1 Chet Faker; 14/1 Danni Minogue; 5 Seconds of Summer; 25/1 Delta Goodrem; 50/1 Hugh Jackman; 50/1 Olivia Newton John; 50/1 Keith Urban; 50/1 The Janoskians; 66/1 INXS; 66/1 Natalie Imbruglia; 66/1 Holly Valance; 100/1 AC/DC; 100/1 Kylie Minogue; 200/1 Jason Donovan; 500/1 Russell Crowe. There is currently no word on whether Nick Cave is in the running.

On the subject of Sia, she's had her latest single, "Elastic Heart", reworked by lauded producer Clams Casino, and you can listen to it below.
