David Unaipon: Australia's Da Vinci

You may know his face from Australia's $50 note, but David Unaipon's influence - as a Ngarrindjeri man, author, revolutionary inventor, preacher and activist - extends far further afield than your wallet. The invention of the first straight-line motion shearing machine in 1909 is one part of Unaipon's incredible story, documented here in 'Australia's Da Vinci'.

"As a full blooded member of my race I think I may lay claim to be the first - but I hope not the last - to produce an enduring record of our customs, beliefs and imaginging" Written on the old $50 bill....not the new one.....why???
