My Awesome Australian: Online exhibition

My Australian by Harrison (8-11 years, VIC)

Drawing
My Australian
Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera is a significant figure in Australia, not only for his achievements in Australian rules football but also for his dedication to Indigenous education and cultural representation. As a talented defender for St Kilda Football Club, he has established himself as one of the AFL's promising young players, earning selection in the under 22 team in both 2023 and 2024 . I would give him an all Australian award which means he was the best and nicest Australian person.
