Gday...

1864  -     Australian poet and author, Banjo Paterson, is born. 

1934  -     Australian actor Barry Humphries, alias Dame Edna Everage, is born. 

1846  -     The colony of North Australia is proclaimed by Letters Patent. 

1972  -     Production of the humble Volkswagen Beetle surpasses that of the Model T Ford.

Cheers - John

Here's my claim to fame... sorta... I wrote a few scripts for Barry Humphries in the mid 80s and he was very impressed. He wanted to meet after the recording session but I'd already gone to lunch. A long one, something I've always regretted.
