Maybe give some free advice about: School?
You could write about Nelson Mandela or Mahatma Gandhi...Both of them affected the world at large...

the problem with australians is that because of relative isolation for most of the major trade movements in world history, they haven't had a great deal of impact on the world pre-turn-of-the-century. your best bet is to do someone like chinggis khan or ibn batutta. if you're dead set on doing something affecting africans, try looking up the sugar kings or the rulers who supported the trans-african slave trade. my personal favorite world history topic is trade and the effects it had on cultural integration. check out the book The World That Trade Created. another great idea is to look at various revolutions in the context of the french revolution by isolating a person who had a large part in it. there's so many things that affect world history that it's impossible for me to list them out.

They aren't Australian, but here are a few at the top of my head:
Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Adolf Hitler, Saddam Hussein, Stalin. You can probably find a complete list of world leaders on google.

Isaac Newton would be a good choice...
