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!!!

It's always wise to be properly informed Bruce.

"During the killing times, deaths occurred on both sides.

But Indigenous people overwhelmingly suffered, with 97 per cent of those killed in the frontier massacres Aboriginal.

After the 1916 Mowla Bluff massacre, where between 6 and 200 Aboriginal people were killed by police, an Aboriginal eyewitness described the chilling way officers disposed of the bodies."

Think it is at Marble Bar, I haven't been to WA but remember a picture of same beng posted, think it was to remember a person that lived in the location?

Edit, maybe it was for someone that drowned there, just thinking again?

David,
You’re looking in the wrong state.

Shirley,
You’re too far North.
Look a bit South.
Well, in WA scale...
“Down the road a bit” can mean a hundred km or more. 😳
Regards & God bless,
Ray

OK Shirley, thanks for trying.

Come on all you nomads, thinking caps on!
Go to your road atlas. Get out those photos — paper and digital.

We are all looking forward to some cross border travel. I wonder what the new normal will be. I'm sure it won't be the same as before.

In the mean time, was Shirley right about that rock being in WA?
