Description

In January 2010 psychiatrist Patrick McGorry accepted the Australian of the Year award - the latest in a line of inspiring Australians stretching back fifty years to the award's first recipient, biologist Sir Frank Burnett. Australians of the Year celebrates this milestone 50th anniversary by taking a close-up look at the lives of each recipient and revealing talented and admirable role models Australia can be proud of. Among a fascinating collection of scientists, sportspeople, entertainers, doctors, leaders, soldiers and environmentalists, you will meet opera diva Dame Joan Sutherland, war hero Sir Ernest Edward 'Weary' Dunlop and outstanding athlete Catherine Freeman.
