Los Angeles, January 19, 2008 – John Travolta is not Australian, but as an ambassador for Qantas Airlines, the movie star has close ties to the country, and is a staple of the annual G’Day USA events.  This year, Travolta presented songtstress Kylie Minogue with an award at the G’Day USA black tie gala on Saturday.  Organizers asked the press not to intimidate Bindi Irwin with catcalls and yelling, but as usual, the 9-year-old TV sensation was a total ham, although her mom Terri Irwin seemed a bit nervous.  Olivia Newton-John brought an unidentified date, so perhaps she’s getting over her boyfriend who vanished at sea.  Natalie Imbruglia was a no-show at the gala, reportedly stuck in traffic.  Yanks Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart and Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin helped the Aussies celebrate.
