Eurythmics formed in the New South Wales city of Wagga Wagga, according to founding member Dave Stewart.

"That's where Annie and I decided to become a duo. It was in a place called Wagga Wagga," Stewart said.

It all began in Wagga: Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics.

"We were in a hotel late at night with a little portable mini-synthesizer and playing around. We were interested in doing something, just the two of us."

At the time, singer Annie Lennox and Stewart were part of a band called The Tourists, lead by singer Peet Coombes.
