Hmm..

Lets see, Burke and Wills *knew* that if you want a drink in this part of
the country you have to find a frog that's buried 2 feet underground and
then drink its urine?

There was a survivor of that expedition: he was saved by aboriginals who
knew where to find food and water.

Yes. And when the admittedly socialist Whitlam government started to ask
"Why do we have parts of the US nuclear war system in this country?" US
people (the CIA?) inform the Oppostition of a clause in the constitution
that had only ever been used before by George III (and you know what his
state of mind was!). The significant event was a bloodless coup at the
instigation of a foriegn power!

Also:

Experimental trials of citrus to combat scurvy, discovery of antarctica,
etc. 

PS: To all the US people who want to jump up and down about the Kerr
incident, I think it was Nixon or Carter who was your President at the
time. Ask *them* why they meddled with the elected government of an ally,
not me. An ally who is unprepared to re-evaluate the status of their
relationship is probably not worth the paper any treaty or alliance is
written on.
