The Rank Strangers were an Australian bluegrass band that won multiple national and international awards during the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Other occasional members included Belinda Moody on bass, Ian Tritt on mandolin, Di McNicol on guitar and vocals, and other Australian and American instrumentalists.

In 1988, the Rank Strangers swept the Australian Gospel Music Awards in Tamworth, New South Wales, winning Best Group, Best Male Vocalist, and Best Composition.

These tours culminated in performances before the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) in Owensboro, Kentucky, alongside Emmylou Harris, Bill Monroe, Alison Krauss, Ralph Stanley, Doyle Lawson, Hot Rize, Peter Rowan, and others.

BU described "Uluru" as "one of the most intellectually stimulating bluegrass works of recent years, and it cannot be restricted to mere national boundaries."
