Have you looked at this website. You may be able to put something together from it.

Re: barry humphries
 

got a fair whack of info....... but not entirely sure what his contribution/s would be classed as...

obviously it's to the arts.... but has he also raised australia's profile internationally?... has he drawn attention to the mind set of australian suburbia?....

just seeing if anyone can think of a different contribution other than the satirical humour of dame edna!

Well when I was a kid, I associated Australia with him and Rolf Harris.

Don't know if that was a good thing though :scared:

He was quite active in trying to save Camberwell station in Melbourne a few months ago.
