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!!!

"tanks" here---Ray,
I had good teachers at school.
It took the Army to teach me how to forget.
Now I can't even remember where I put my teeth.
I know they are in the motorhome somewhere, and it is parked next to the carport in it's usual place.

Keith.
I'm now 87 years old, having experienced another birthday, and I'm still living in WA, single (gave up looking), white hair, no teeth, no money, no worries.
I plan to have another birthday next year.

Tanks,
There are three signs of ageing:
1. Loss of memory
2. Ummm... I forget the others.
:lol: :lol: :lol:

Now that I’m in my twilight years, I spend a lot of time thinking of the hereafter.
I walk into a room and think, “Now, what am I here after?”
:lol: :lol: :lol:
Regards & God bless,
Ray

Ok once again it will be a short quick answer which will not take long to answer. Who was the first European to discover Australia, what year?

I’ve been getting a fair bit of airtime recently, so I’ll hang back on this one. 😜

Wow, really? I always thought it was William Dampier on the far west coast or Janzoon in the Dufyken up on Cape York. I wonder what Mr Google thinks?
Edit, well there you go. You can learn something every day with this forum.

Guess that is one good thing about Trivia, keeps the brain active & you do learn more, even if you forget it later :lol:

Looks like we may as well forget about keeping the brain cells active as only a couple of us seem to be into quiz .
