Pics from Australia Day Live 2008 backstage

Ben, Charlie and Chris were asked to play in Lee Kernaghan's band after he was named Australian of the Year. The show was in front of 35,000 people, and to a TV audience of 1.2 million, but the best thing (judging by the faces in these pics) was mingling backstage.
