Australian Inventors

Australian inventions and inventors

Australian culture is a surprise box, the Australia people have contributed with several invents and most of them very useful, I am going to show you some of them:

Do you know Australia’s Aboriginal people invented the aerodynamic boomerang and a spear thrower called the woomera?

Some Australian famous inventors include Alfred Traeger, who built a radio for the Royal Flying Doctor Service in 1929, and David Ronald de Mey Warren, who invented the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder.

The Professor Ian Frazer in 2006 was Australian of the Year and invented a vaccine to prevent cervical cancer.

But the most surprising is that Australian inventions  include notepads, the surf lifesaving reel, aspirin in 1915, the pacemaker, penicillin in 1940, the plastic disposable syringe, the wine cask in 1965, the bionic ear in 1978, dual-flush toilet flush in 1980, anti-counterfeiting technology for banknotes and long-wearing contact lenses in 1999.
