The rescue of an elderly woman from a car crash in 2015 has led to Tim Leeming of Coojar, south of Harrow, receiving a Bravery Medal.
Mr Leeming was one of 74 Australians to win recognition in latest Australian Bravery Awards.
Governor-General David Hurley announced award recipients on Sunday.
The incident that led to Mr Leeming receiving his national decoration happened on October 22, 2015 on the Coleraine-Edenhope Road near Pigeon Ponds. At about 2.30pm, a woman driving alone on the road lost control of her vehicle and hit a tree before the vehicle flipped onto its roof.
