Australian Trivia Only

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Congratulations, Shirley!!
Gulargumbone it is. There are about half-a-dozen in the park, and another two on the highway approaches to town.

Now, can anyone answer the question on the mystery Prime Minister?

Hmmm...

Forgot about Black Jack. And we've visited Chiltern Museum!! :oops:

However, he's not the name I'm after.

I guess I'll have to concede that one to you Bruce.

The answer I was looking for is below...
NZ PM 1.jpg
NZ PM 2.jpg
Michael Savage was PM of New Zealand... :twisted: 8-) Born in Tatong, near Benalla.
Maybe I should have specified a Labour PM. That would have confused everyone... 8-) (Although the 'u' might have been a give-away.) Note the info sign gets that wrong... :roll:
From Wikipedia:
Michael Joseph Savage PC was a New Zealand politician who served as the 23rd Prime Minister of New Zealand, heading the First Labour Government from 6 December 1935 until his death. Savage was born in the Colony of Victoria, and emigrated to New Zealand in 1907. Wikipedia

Yep! Vegemite is correct!

I decided not to go on with it Ray as we have several NZ migrants on the forum.
Something along the lines of 'which way do the misfits migrate'!!
:lol: 8-) :|
