You are correct Big Gorilla! It is the late Olivia Newton-John. A former Melbournite.
Dame Olivia Newton-John AC DBE (26 September 1948 8 August 2022) was a British and Australian singer and actress.[3] With over 100 million records sold,[4] Newton-John was one of the best-selling music artists of all time, as well as the highest-selling female Australian recording artist of all-time.[5][6]
Phillip Hugh Norman Rudd (born Phillip Hugh Norman Witschke Rudzevecuis,[1][2] 19 May 1954) is an Australian drummer, best known as the drummer of AC/DC across three stints (19751983, 19942015, 2018present). On the 1977 departure of bass guitarist Mark Evans from AC/DC, Rudd became the only Australian-born member of the band. In 2003, he entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame along with the other members of AC/DC. In 2014, Rudd released his first solo album, Head Job. Due to ongoing legal problems in New Zealand, where he is a resident, Rudd was unable to join the band for the 2015 Rock or Bust World Tour and was replaced by Chris Slade.[3][4] On 30 September 2020, AC/DC confirmed that Rudd would be rejoining the band for their comeback album Power Up.
Think he had a frosty past and was featured on something you kept in your wallet

He certainly had a cold past, but I don't carry any cash in my wallet - only plastic.However, I don't believe that he has featured on any banknotes, unlike Douglas Mawson.

You are quite correct Big Gorilla.
Sir Hubert (George Hubert) Wilkins MC & Bar (31 October 1888 30 November 1958), commonly referred to as Captain Wilkins, was an Australian polar explorer, ornithologist, pilot, soldier, geographer and photographer. He was awarded the Military Cross after he assumed command of a group of American soldiers who had lost their officers during the Battle of the Hindenburg Line, and became the only official Australian photographer from any war to receive a combat medal.[1] He narrowly failed in an attempt to be the first to cross under the North Pole in a submarine, but was able to prove that submarines were capable of operating beneath the polar ice cap, thereby paving the way for future successful missions. The US Navy later took his ashes to the North Pole aboard the submarine USS Skate on 17 March 1959.
John Royce Mathis is an American singer who is one of the best-selling recording artists of the 20th century. Starting his career with singles of standard music, Mathis became highly popular as an album artist, with several of his albums achieving gold or platinum status and 73 making the Billboard charts.
