Distinguished and Famous people from Anglesea
Anglesea's connections with distinguished people include the pages of illustrated books and the town's junior football ground. Both have supported careers familiar well beyond the Surf Coast.
🎨 Robert Ingpen
Illustrator Robert Ingpen has made his home and worked in Anglesea. Born in Geelong and trained at RMIT, he became internationally recognised for illustration, receiving the Hans Christian Andersen Medal in 1986. His work on classic stories has introduced new readers to books already familiar to earlier generations. The coastal connection is a working home: a place where an illustrator's close observation and imagination could turn a familiar tale into a fresh visual experience.
🏅 Patrick Dangerfield
Patrick Dangerfield played junior football at Anglesea Football Club, a connection he has continued to acknowledge in supporting community football. His AFL career began with Adelaide before he moved to Geelong. He won the Brownlow Medal in 2016 and played in Geelong's 2022 premiership team. Behind those national honours is the local club where he grew up playing, learning the game before it became a profession and a regular subject of weekend conversation across the country.
