Australia’s Nobel Prize Laureate list
Australia’s laureates have been illustrious, ranging from the man recognised for discovering that the universe is rapidly expanding to another lauded for drinking a bacteria cocktail. As far back as 1915 we laid claim to one of the youngest ever Nobel Laureates, 25-year-old Lawrence Bragg.
