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!!!

I have not even checked the trivia recently because I though no one was interested. Have to agree with David, can find nothing.

Graynomad, we obviously need some clues.

A clue: The Breaker never actually visited the Alice. It’s an indirect connection.
Look at his personal life.

Hmm. It is well documented that he did work in the Charters Towers area. Would that be a good area to start looking?

Interesting story re Daisy Bates, Morant's wife but no mention of Alice Springs?
Unless it is her almost life time interest in Aboriginal people & helping them.

Unfortunately there is no mention of the friendship I found in Daisy’s biographies.
It is only credited in the other person’s bio.
A further hint is necessary.
This friendship resulted in the establishment of one of Alice Springs’ scientific and tourist attractions.
The establishment has a ‘colourful’ name.
(That’s a cryptic clue.)
