The nominees for the prestigious Australian of the Year are introduced. Phil Olivetti, Ricky Wong, Ja'mie King, and Daniel Sims.

Phil and his family try to adjust to his new stardom; Ja'mie hosts a sleepover; Ricky auditions for a play.

Ricky is very excited as rehearsals begin for his Chinese student theatre company's production about Aboriginal Australians.

Phil invites one of the Australian of the Year judges over for a barbecue to try and impress him, but things don't go to plan.

It's show time for Ricky as `Indigeridoo!' has its opening night, but he has received an ultimatum from his father.

The nominees head to Canberra for the Australian of the Year state finals.
