Peter Combe is a Legend of the Australian Children's Music scene and has been the fore-father of the genre since the 80s. [ [http://www.worldsoundproductions.com/artists/peter_combe/web_pages/peter_combe_home.html "Peter Combe", "World Sound Productions"] ] He has inspired many popular Australian children's artists, such as the Hooley Dooleys and The Wiggles.

Some of his best known songs include "Toffee Apple", "Spaghetti Bolognaise", "Mr Clickety Cane", "Juicy Juicy Green Grass" and "Newspaper Mama".

In 2006, he crossed over to the genre of political commentary with his song "Free David Hicks".
