Congratulations Tom Baker, OAM
Queanbeyan Landcare's Tom Baker was awarded an Order of Australia medal at this year's Queen's Birthday honours list.
From being labelled a "ratbag" to receiving an Order of Australia medal, Queanbeyan's Tom Baker said attitudes towards environmentalists like himself are certainly changing.
Mr Baker has spent more than 30 years working to improve the local environment and that was recognised this week in the form of an Order of Australia medal.
