Distinguished and Famous people from Drouin

🥊 Lionel Rose

Lionel Rose grew up at Jackson’s Track near Drouin, with his family’s life there recorded in the photographic collections held by AIATSIS. Boxing carried him from Gippsland to international competition. In Tokyo in 1968, he defeated Masahiko “Fighting” Harada to become world bantamweight champion, returning to an enormous welcome in Melbourne. He was named Australian of the Year that year, the first Indigenous recipient. His achievements brought national attention to a young man whose early life belonged to the communities around Drouin and Warragul.
