Sure was Peter, remember many times playing/climbing the trees in the huge beer garden out the back when Mum & Dad visited for a beer or two.

Re: Australian Trivia Only
Many years ago there was a historical village next to the Newell Hwy at Forbes NSW. It isn't open any more, but is still there, well sort of anyway. What was it called?

Re: Australian Trivia Only
Shirley,
I can’t believe any Aussies would stop at a pub for just one or two beers...
Are you sure it wasn’t ‘one or two dozen??
Regards & God bless,
Ray

Re: Australian Trivia Only
I vaguely remember visiting a Lachlan Village around that area somewhere. Can't remember much about it.supersparky wrote: ↑Thu Feb 18, 2021 3:43 pm Many years ago there was a historical village next to the Newell Hwy at Forbes NSW.

Been going through old photos, but can't be specific.
On the same trip we visited Swan Hill Village, so I might be confusing the two. I think Lachlan Village was a smaller version...
Is that what you're after, David?
Regards & God bless,
Ray

Re: Australian Trivia Only
Thats it Ray. It was the Lachlan Vintage Village. We stopped there a few times in the 80's. Some of the old buildings are still there. I think the local council owns it now and it is has been for sale for a long time now.

Re: Australian Trivia Only
Q: In 1858, during the Crimean War, the good citizens of Ballarat formed the Ballarat Volunteer Rifle Regiment. Through several restructurings and renamings, the unit still exists.
What is the unit’s current name?

Re: Australian Trivia Only
Ampere or amp for short?

Re: Australian Trivia Only
Correct term is Ampere , probably some French bloke that discovered its purpose. We all use the shortened version amp or amps. Now I need to do some research to find out what that military units current name is.
Dot, did I spell something wrong? If I did, I find it almost improbable that Ray or George didn't pick it up.
Is the word replacement assistance tool switched on, or ????
