Hi there!

I am a teaching assistant in a Primary School and my class is writing to other countries to see what they know about Australia.

My question that the students have asked me to ask you is please 'Name one famous Australian' also if you don't know anyone can you please say 'don't know' as we are doing a graph.

Thankyou so much I hope we get some answers.

Heath Ledger. -drool- Mel Gibson, too, right? Well, he wasn't born in Australia, but I do believe his mom was and they moved back there or whatnot.

Charlee

Yes we count Mel as an Aussie. His wife is Australian and he started his career here. Australia loves him. He has a cattle property here and they come back sometimes.

Nicole Kidman

The first name that popped into my head was Germaine Greer.

There are two quotes I've always liked, "All societies on the verge of death are masculine. A society can survive with only one man; no society will survive a shortage of women." And, "You're only young once, but you can be immature forever."

Food for thought!

What a geek. I don't know why I couldn't say Mel Gibson, but that's not the name that jumped out! How about Evonne Goolagong? Even THAT name came up for me before Mel Gibson.

I must just be old.

Thomas Keneally, he wrote Schindler's List.

Oh! And the Little River Band, I almost forgot about them. Does anyone remember them?

And not a person, but when I was little, my mom used to sing Waltzing Matilda to me. Don't know where she picked that up.
