	Henry Parkes was born to a family of yeoman stock in Warwickshire in 1815. Unfortunately, falling wheat prices forced the family to leave the land and seek employment in Birmingham. In 1836 Parkes married Clarinda Varney and they applied for assisted passage to Australia, the death of two of their infant children and a failed business venture influencing their decision.

	(1864 - 1941)

	&nbsp;

	Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong, under the shade of a coolabah tree, and he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled, you’ll come a waltzing matilda with me.

	&nbsp;

	&nbsp;‘Banjo’ Paterson was a poet who captured the magic of Australia’s bush and the characters who lived there.

	&nbsp;

	&nbsp;His ballads inspired a pride in Australia unseen before in the country’s history.

	(1902 - 1959)

	&nbsp;

	Albert Namatjira is one of Australia's great artists, and perhaps the best known Aboriginal painter.

	&nbsp;

	His western style landscapes - so different to traditional Aboriginal art, made him famous.

	&nbsp;

	Fame led to Albert and his wife becoming the first Aborigines to be granted Australian citizenship.

	&nbsp;

	It was a significant achievement, because at this time Aborigines had few rights.

	History books tell us John Macarthur is "the father of the Australian wool industry".

	&nbsp;

	But it was really his wife, Elizabeth Macarthur, who developed the wool industry in Australia.

	&nbsp;

	Elizabeth was born in England in 1766. Her family were rich farmers, but Elizabeth's home life wasn't always happy.

	Her father died when Elizabeth was aged five, and she was sent to live with her grandfather.
