Elizabeth Kenny
Sister Elizabeth Kenny (20 September 1880 – 30 November 1952) was a self-trained Australian bush nurse who developed an approach to treating polio that was controversial at the time. Her method, promoted internationally while working in Australia, Europe and the United States, differed from the conventional one of placing affected limbs in plaster casts. Instead she applied hot compresses, followed by passive movement of the areas to reduce what she called "spasm". Her principles of muscle rehabilitation became the foundation of physical therapy or physiotherapy in such cases. Her life story was told in a 1946 film, ''Sister Kenny'', where she was portrayed by Rosalind Russell, who was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance. Early life Elizabeth Kenny was born in Warialda, New South Wales, on 20 September 1880, to the Australian-born Mary Kenny, née Moore, and Michael Kenny, a farmer from Ireland.

Border Police Of New South Wales
The Border Police of New South Wales was a frontier policing body introduced by the colonial government of New South Wales with the passing of the ''Crown Lands Unauthorised Occupation Act 1839''. The Colony of New South Wales was expanding rapidly in the late 1830s, and the colonial government was concerned with the illegal occupation of lands and the rights of the Aboriginal people.
