Famous University of Melbourne Alumni

Don't really listen to music but I was told to listen to "Somebody that I used to know" by Gotye: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UVNT4wvIGY, and whilst I was reading his story I found out he went to Melbourne University. So I did a few quick google searches and found more famous Melbourne Uni Alumni:

Julia Gillard (haha)
Cate Blanchett (actor)
Anna Funder (the best author)
Gotye aka Wouter De Backer (singer)
Julian Assange (founder of wikileaks)
Hamish Blake (comedian)
Andy Lee (comedian)
Richard Pratt (tycoon)
Ted Baillieu (premier)
John Brumby (former premier)
Portia de Rossi (actor- Ally McBeal)
Livinia Nixon (presenter)

Know of anyone else?

Hamish and Andy.

Although they didn't finish and withdrew from their respective courses.  Does that count?

I walk around university and feel like there is a distinct dearth of comedians. Now my faith is restored.
