This ABC News Canberra report by Europe correspondent Barbara Miller offers concise but comprehensive coverage of the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna.
As well as covering the winner, voting controversy (around the runner-up Russian entrant) and Australia's participation and noteworthy Top 5 placing, the round-up of the Grand Final expertly captures the celebratory feel of the night with its themes of love and tolerance and noisy, enthusiastic audience.
This was the first year that Australia had competed in the competition. Represented by Guy Sebastian (singing 'Tonight Again'), Australia finished in fifth place, an excellent result.
