Wikipedia has information on Australian historic figures

Wikipedia has an article on pretty much every major historical figure in Australian politics and culture. If you find one missing - please do let us know and we'll start writing one!

As an example, you can view here a collection featuring detailed information on every single Prime Minister of Australia - with thanks to Mark Hurd for collating this into a printable 'book' which you can download and keep for free :-)
