4md, where would I be able to search for order of australia recipients? I'm sure that based on how unique this ribbon rack is with the awards and campaigns that this person participated in, it wouldn't be hard to narrow down the selection

Re: Australian Ribbon rack...need help in finding the recipient
I just googled "Order of australia" and found a government site called "Its an honour". trouble is without a name you are searching for a needle in a haystack. There are 240 000 OA entries. You might be better searching miitary cross winners as Steve says. Try the Australian war memorial site for this although there are over a 1000 entries for military cross winners
good luck

Also he was awarded various WW2 campaign medals.
So this gent was a old soldier by the time the Vietnam conflict.Impressive
