Constable Zach Rolfe of the Northern Territory Police was awarded the Clarke Medal for rescuing two tourists from a flood-swollen river in the Northern Territory in December 2016. To carry out the rescue of the woman from Hong Kong and a man from Taiwan Constable Rolfe had to swim across a raging river near Alice Springs multiple times. The award was presented to him in 2018 by the Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove at Government House in Canberra.
