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!!!

You pipped me by about two minutes... :(

Yes David- mine are usually easy questions to keep moving quickly.
Time is passing too quickly so live life to the full with your spouse/partner while you still have she/he by your side.

See how this goes. Maryborough Qld is famous for being the home of a famous author. Who is it and what was the main characters name in their book?
Bonus point, what is the authors real name?

Maryborough Victoria has a very elaborate railway station. It was originally designed and intended to be located somewhere else. Where was that?
