Neither am I!!
After no difference to the published results after the first week, I decided to experiment.
I voted in all categories all of the time just to see if any of the votes made a difference in any of the categories. My thinking was that at least one of the icons I was voting for would have to be close to the top 3.
I had various reasons for voting in each section. In other words, my vote was not necessarily the one I thought deserved it, but as I said it was an experiment.
As it is coming to a close I thought I would make my selections public.
They are:-
Joh Bjelke-Petersen
Billy Thorpe
Dick Johnson
Breakfast Creek Hotel
Magnetic Island
Kuranda Scenic Railway
1974 Floods
Polio Treatment
Mt Isa Rodeo
Qldr House
There's only a few days to go and I wonder if there's any difference.

Right in the middle - 7 in front and 7 behind. Would have been interesting to know the count.

Thats certainly not how my list would look, but well done DJ!
It seems the whole thing was a setup from the start, hands up anyone who voted for Cathy Freeman. I have yet to find one person that did. Most people I have spoken to picked either Greg Norman, Wally Lewis, Alan Border or Rod Laver. Even Susie O'Neill was only selected by two people where I work in our own poll we ran for Sporting Legends and we had three choices.(113 people voted)
