I will start off by saying that generational boundaries are 'best estimates', so people say three to four years either side of a generational boundary are often mixed archetypically. In Australia that is certainly the case when it comes to the late 60's Xer cohorts and late 80's Millennial cohorts. Which I can testify from the countless people I have met in my life.
Here is a list of some prominent Aussie celebrities, the years they were born in and what Australian generations they belong to. Apart from our Silent equivalents being called The Builders. Generally Australians use the names Boomer, Generation X, Millennial and Generation Z for generational names.
Sam Worthington (1976) Nomad
Rebel Wilson (1980) Nomad
Liam Hemsworth (1990) Civic
Simon Baker (1969) Nomad
Rachel Griffiths (1968) Nomad
Rose Byrne (1979) Nomad
Hugo Weaving (1960) Prophet
Isa Fisher (1976) Nomad
Naomi Watts (1968) Nomad
Guy Pearce (1967) Nomad
Toni Collette (1972) Nomad
Miranda Kerr (1983) Nomad
Margot Robbie (1990) Civic
Chris Hemsworth (1983) Nomad
Kylie Minogue (1968) Nomad
Hugh Jackman (1968) Nomad
Cate Blanchett (1969) Nomad
Paul Hogan (1939) Artist
Heath Ledger (1979-2008) Nomad
Elle MacPherson (1964) Prophet
Olivia Newton-John (1948) Prophet
Russell Crowe (1964) Prophet
Nicole Kidman (1967) Nomad
I know Australian political figures better than celebrities, so those born in the immediate post war years such as John Hewson (1946), Kim Beazley (1948) and Bob Carr (1947) are definitely a mix of both Artist and Prophet. Generally those born before 1966 are generally solid Prophets. Although John Hewson is definitely much more of an Artist than he is a Prophet.
While some born in the late 1960s such as Bill Shorten (1967), Tanya Plibersek (1969) and even to a lesser degree Scott Morrison (1969) while early wave Nomads, have a Prophet tinge.
