Dr Donald Fred "Don" McMichael (born 28 January 1932) is a retired senior Australian public servant. ==Life and career== McMichael was born in Rockhampton, Queensland on 28 January 1932. He was schooled at North Sydney Technical High School and Newcastle Technical High School, before graduating from University of Sydney in 1952 with first class honours in zoology. His PhD thesis at Harvard University, which he began in 1953, was on Australian freshwater mussels. In December 1975, he was appointed Director of Environment within the new Department of Environment, Housing and Community Development. In February 1978, McMichael was appointed Secretary of the Department of Home Affairs. When that Department was reconstituted as the Department of Home Affairs and Environment, he continued as Secretary. Issues of central importance during his time in the Department included the Tasmanian Dam case and the Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park, and the need for a greening Australia program. McMichael was appointed the first Director of the National Museum of Australia in February 1984, for a seven-year term. At the time, the Museum was expected to open in 1990. In May 1989, McMichael announced his retirement from the role and from the Australian Public Service, describing the last three years at the museum as "quite frustrating and negative" due to the Australian Government's lack of commitment to the museum. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Don McMichael」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
