My Awesome Australian: Online exhibition

Tippa Loves Maccas by Jacob (8-11 years, VIC)

Tippa Loves Maccas
Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti is important for his impact on Australian Rules Football and as a proud Indigenous role model. His speed, skill, and resilience inspired many, while his journey from the Tiwi Islands to the AFL highlights perseverance. He empowered Indigenous youth, broke barriers, and celebrated cultural pride through sport and community. I would give him the best and nicest reward because he is just the best and he was one of the nicest people in all of Australia.
