Being a history buff I like pseudo-Aussies like Dirk Hartzog, Abel Tasman, William Dampier, James Cook, and Joesph Banks.

A forgotten Australian Great is Mae Charlotte Dahlberg ( 22/5/1888 - 1969), she was a comedian who partnered Stan Laurel (Arthur Stanley Jefferson) in the early days before he became the Laurel and Hardy great act in America.
She was Stan's common law partner from 1919 until 1925.

She appeared in films "Nuts in May" in 1917 and "Mud in the Sands" in 1922
