In 1939, Australian scientist Howard Florey purified penicillin from a special strain of mould. The team demonstrated penicillin’s ability to fight bacterial infection in mice and, later, humans. The antibiotic was mass produced and used to aid victims of World War II. Penicillin has been used around the world saving many lives through the combating of infection by common bacteria. Today, it is still widely used in combating infections, but its efficacy is at risk from the growing resistance to the antibiotic.In 1926 the world’s first electronic pacemaker was developed by Dr Mark Lidwell, a cardiology pioneer in conjunction with Edgar Booth a Sydney University Physicist. 8.

[93] Didgeridoo – The didgeridoo is a wind instrument of northern Australia. [2] It is sometimes described as a " drone pipe," but musicologists classify it as an aerophone. Traditionally, a didgeridoo was made by selecting a section of a Eucalyptus branch, then burying it near a termite mound so that the termites would hollow it out, to produce a long, hollow piece of wood suitable for fashioning the instrument. However, what does emerge clearly is his insistence that many of the influences that fed into different depictions of Australian identity were Empire-wide and not Australian at all. For example, he speaks of the approval given to the “bushman soldiers” in the colonial troops as a whole during WWI- not just the ANZACS. There was an Empire-wide expectation of the Coming Man, exemplified by empire-wide publications called”Young Australia” and “Young Canada” that were part of a series that was customized for each country. He underscores the importance of “whiteness” in the conceptualisation of the Coming Man, again part of a wider movement.
