澳大利亚历史名人

班尼欧·彼德森 Andrew Barton (Banjo) Paterson (1864–1941);他是一名农夫也是一名律师,更是一位著名的诗人.他生于新南威尔士州一个偏远小镇纳朗布(拉Narambla).他的原名是Andrew Barton Patter,班尼欧(The Banjo)是他家在依拉朗的一匹他所喜欢的赛马的名字,被他后来用作笔名.他1890年写的《雪河男子汉》就是以这个笔名发表的.此诗后来被收录在他的诗集《雪河男子汉和其它诗歌》里，而成为澳洲最早的本土诗歌集之一,而且销量很好.于是彼德森也成为澳洲最有名的诗人.悉尼奥运会开幕式开场场面十分壮观,就是出自他著名长诗《雪河男子汉》-The Man From Snowy River的场景.

亨利·洛森 Henry Lawson(1867–1922)他是澳大利亚著名的小说家、诗人.出生在新南威尔士州格伦费尔城附近.受他母亲的影响,他也热心妇女运动,因而也常与记者、作家、妇权运动者、社会主义者接触.他的作品及诗集有:《共和之歌》,《在海阔天空的日子里》和短篇小说集《当罐里的水沸腾的时候》,)、《我的祖国》,《乔·威尔逊及其伙伴》,《丛林儿童》等.他熟悉下层人民的生活和思想感情，同情他们的遭遇，在作品中刻画了他们的生动形象，表现了他们优秀的品质.他的主要成就在于短篇小说，着重表现人们的相互关系和真情实感，而不以情节取胜。他的语言朴实生动，富于幽默，体现了劳动人民的口语特点，被评论家誉为“普通人的声音”.他的作品无论在题材、风格、语言各方面都具有鲜明的地方特色,为奠定澳大利亚文学的基础作出了贡献.

don bradman　
This fascinating book takes a very different look at Australia's most popular sporting hero, Sir Donald Bradman. Unlike the mostly reverent literature on 'The Don', this book explains how his iconic status was created and sustained, and what his popularity and heroism say about the meaning of Australian nationhood. Brett Hutchins' unique analysis reveals the mythical character of so many representations of The Don, and connects them to broader social phenomena and the cultural contexts in which they were created. Hutchins considers the many ways in which Bradman has been represented as a symbol of Australian masculinity, as the quintessential Australian boy from the bush, as the 'battler', and as the hero at a distance from the political. Hutchins is able to show that many of the truisms we take for granted about Bradman and his role in Australian culture are open to challenge.
