Gday...

1802  -     Flinders discovers and names Port Lincoln in South Australia. 

1984  -     Australia's first completely successful heart transplant operation is performed, under the direction of Dr Victor Chang. 

1991  -     The Gulf War ground offensive of the Allied forces against Iraq begins. 

Cheers - John
