David Griffin - Australian - was born in 1915.
Philip Kenyon Chapman was the first Australian born American astronaut (NASA Group 6; 1967). This question can be answered in two ways, Philip Kenyon Chapman is the first Australian born (he gained US citizenship in 1966) to train as an astronaut, although he never flew in space. He was the mission scientist for Apollo 14. Paul Scully Power is an Australian born Payload Specialist who flew aboard STS-41 in October 5th to 13th 1984, but by that time he had become an US citizen, which he took in 1982. So while Chapman holds the record for the first Australian to train as an astronaut, Power holds the record for the first Australian in space.
