Gday...

Sorry for stickin' me bib in agen ... cry

But I have a feeling Ballast2 may believe he has posted a pic of Alfred Deakin (who was not English-born (born in Fitzroy Melbourne) but was 2nd PM of Straya)

Who check 03.JPG

This is perhaps where Mr Google has been a trifle misleading.....

Who check 01.JPG

However, further digging shows the bloke in the pic is actually Hallam Tennyson, 2nd Baron ... son of Baron Alfred Tennyson the poet.

Who check 05.JPG

Who check 04.JPG

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallam_Tennyson,_2nd_Baron_Tennyson

https://www.geni.com/people/Hallam-Tennyson-2nd-Baron-Tennyson/6000000007492423402

So I guess Ballast2 might need to dig out another pic.

(I follow the game through observation but would rather not participate - so if Ballast2 ain't got another then decide who might be next)

Cheers - John

G'day John. No I am not referring to the 2nd Prime Minister. I am referring to the 2nd ? of Australia. He was an English aristocrat. He also was a Governor of ? That should give him away. This is him without his regalia. I will leave it to others to decide who I posted. Over to you.

Cheers.

G'day again John. You are correct in his name. He was the second Governor General of Australia from 1903 to 1904. He was also Governor of South Australia from 1899 t0 1902. That was the info I was after. I will now leave it to someone else to post.
Cheers and good bye.

You've got it BG over to you.

Eddie Mabo (c. 29 June 1936 21 January 1992[1]) was an Indigenous Australian man from the Torres Strait Islands known for his role in campaigning for Indigenous land rights and for his role in a landmark decision of the High Court of Australia which overturned the legal doctrine of terra nullius ("nobody's land") which characterised Australian law with regard to land and title.

Early life and family

Mabo was born Eddie Koiki Sambo[1] but he changed his surname to Mabo when he was adopted by his uncle, Benny Mabo.[2] He was born on the island of Mer (Murray Island) in the Torres Strait between mainland Australia and Papua New Guinea.[2]

Mabo married Bonita Neehow, an Australian South Sea Islander, in 1959. The couple had seven children and adopted three more.[3] One daughter, Gail, is an Aboriginal artist[4] and dancer who works with schools in New South Wales as a cultural advisor[5] and serves as the family's designated spokesperson.[6]

Thanks for that, Ken

A few posts ago we had Kaiser Bill, the man who ruled with an iron hand

This one should go quickly

This Lady once said
In politics if you want something said, then ask a man
If you want something done, then ask a woman

Or words to that effect
