A veteran Surf Lifesaver of almost 20 years, Monica Wilkie embodies the Australian values through her volunteer work.
She says: “The qualities I’m most proud of about being an Australian is our sense of community, our sense of having a go, looking after your mate… and all of that is embodied in being a Surf Lifesaver.
“We have this iconic red and yellow but behind that red and yellow, there is an army; it doesn’t matter where you come from, there’s always something for everyone.”
