Australians+who+have+made+a+difference.

Here is a place to tell us about Australians who have worked hard in their field, and have inspired us to always do our best.

Fred Hollows is a very famous Australian (he was actually born in New Zealand) because he always looked after other people. Fred Hollows was an eye surgeon, who thought the most important thing in the world was to help blind people to see. He died nearly 20 years ago, but he has always inspired me to think of others and do what I can to help other people. The Fred Hollows Foundation still helps people all over the world by giving them eye operations. Mrs M

= Mary MacKillop = Mary MacKillop [also known as Saint Mary of the Cross] was an Australian Catholic nun who,together with Father Julian Tension Woods, founded the sisters of Saint Joseph of the Sacred Heart. (Please sign your username).

Mary MacKillop was an amazing woman. She wanted to make sure that all Australian children had a chance to go to school and be educated, even if they lived in remote parts of Australia or were very poor. She truly believed every single person was important. I'm glad she's Australia's first saint. Mrs M
