It certainly is the one and only Margaret Olley In December I visited the Tweed Regional Gallery and Margaret Olley Art Centre what a talented lady she was it is well worth the visit who will you give us i wonder

 

Olley was twice the subject of an Archibald Prize winning painting; the first by William Dobell in 1948[4] and the other by Ben Quilty in 2011.[5][6] She was also the subject of paintings by many of her artist friends, including Russell Drysdale[7] and Danelle Bergstrom (that portrait being a finalist in the 2003 Archibald Prize).[8]

On 10 June 1991, in the Queen's Birthday Honours list, Olley was made an Officer of the Order of Australia "for service as an artist and to the promotion of art". On 12 June 2006, she was awarded Australia's highest civilian honour, the Companion of the Order, "for service as one of Australia's most distinguished artists, for support and philanthropy to the visual and performing arts, and for encouragement of young and emerging artists".

 Yes thats him BG, over to you....

Clarence Michael James Stanislaus Dennis, better known as C. J. Dennis, (7 September 1876 22 June 1938) was an Australian poet known for his humorous poems, especially "The Songs of a Sentimental Bloke", published in the early 20th century. Though Dennis's work is less well known today, his 1916 publication of The Sentimental Bloke sold 65,000 copies in its first year, and by 1917 he was the most prosperous poet in Australian history.[1]

Together with Banjo Paterson and Henry Lawson, both of whom he had collaborated with, he is often considered among Australia's three most famous poets.

When he died at the age of 61, the Prime Minister of Australia Joseph Lyons suggested he was destined to be remembered as the "Australian Robert Burns"

You have it Terry over to you for a pic
William John Clifton Haley (/heli/; July 6, 1925 February 9, 1981) was an American rock and roll musician. He is credited by many with first popularizing this form of music in the early 1950s with his group Bill Haley & His Comets and million-selling hits such as "Rock Around the Clock", "See You Later, Alligator", "Shake, Rattle and Roll", "Rocket 88", "Skinny Minnie", and "Razzle Dazzle". He has sold over 60 million records worldwide and has been described as the greatest musical pioneer of the 20th century.

It is a long Bio so here is it all on Wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Haley

Well picked Jack i had a feeling the last clue would give it away Lets see who you have for us

James "Jimmy" Sharman (20 June 1887 18 November 1965) was an Australian boxing troupe and entertainment impresario. His son also worked with him and taking over from as father in 1955, and becoming a professional rugby league footballer.

Sharman was born in Narellan, New South Wales, the fifth of thirteen children to James Sharman and Caroline Brailsfield, he established a boxing tent in 1911 at Ardlethan near Temora.[1] The tent visited 45 to 50 shows each year.[2] His son, Jimmy Sharman Jr, took over the business in 1955. The tent formed part of the Australian Show landscape until 1971, when regulations barred boxers fighting more than once a week. A member of the "Showmans Guild of Australasia", he then turned to dodgem cars in partnership with Garry oneill Reg Grundy.[3]
