Australian and New Zealand Heroes

Our Australian and New Zealand Heroes past and present section is aimed to list many of those quiet achievers who have done what they can to make their piece of Australia, New Zealand and/or the World a better place. Today it seems we are constantly having Politicians and Sports People presented to us as such, let's dig a bit deeper and find what types of Heroes we really do have.
