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!!!

😁 A saying comes to mind. Something about occupying a warm kitchen. 😜

But we still love our cousins across the ditch, don’t we?

Now, give me a few minutes and I’ll post another question.

(Didn’t even consult Dr Google for your one, Bruce. Just dredged it up from the shambles which is my memory. 🤭)
Regards & God bless,

OK people, here t’is:

We were all taught in school that Blaxland, Lawson & Wentworth were the first white men to find a way across the Blue Mountains in 1813.
Before the land could be released for farming, it had to be surveyed.
What was the name of the Surveyor?

I was thinking of Oxley as well. Just about half of everything up here has an Oxley tag.

Dunno, but will take a guess at Birdsville? It must be a racetrack somewhere.
