Re: Australian Trivia Only
How about that!?!?
Can't remember what SWMBO asked me to buy on my way home today, but can remember something I probably read when Gough became Leader of the ALP Opposition in the 'Sixties!
OK folks.
What is the present name of the town originally established as "Bearbrass"?

Re: Australian Trivia Only
Seem to remember it was a mangling of the local aboriginal name for the area meaning foggy or muddy river, might have been barrubus or something similar. Long time since I did Australian history at school, it might have even been primary school come to thnk of it. A big town now
