oops... I was going to do that...
so many notable Aussies spring to mind, but the great majority of them are not of the living variety these days.
ok, just a few:
* Dick Smith ( Businessman/adventurer/philanthropist/larriken - not sure how you spell that )
* Geoffrey Blainey ( Historian) who I have had the pleasure(?) to have been lectured at ( and yes, I mean 'at') and met... still to this day do not agree with some of his biased view of Australian history.
* Thomas Keneally
* Paul Hogan ( seeing as he's stuck here a while and all....
)
* Barry Humphries
* Baz Luhrmann
* Dame Joan Sutherland - La Stupenda
* Richie Benaud ( one I'd like to add to my own list)
* Ita Buttrose
* Rolf Harris
* Angry Anderson ( musician/social worker)
* Tan Le ( young Australian of the year 1998)
* Judith Wright ( poet)
