There's the Wheel of Fortune TV celebrity lady, the late Adriana Xenides.
and prominent Australian artist Salvatore Zofrea.

I'm confused again I thought we were looking for people who were champions of the enviroment ?

Thanks, all. I originally started it as a list of Australian nature film/documentary makers, but it's too hard to make an entire alphabet out of them - and some very interesting names have popped up anyway!

In retrospect, 'Dick Smith' might have thrown people off the track. I had a feeling he had made a few documentaries, but I might have that wrong.
