Gday...

1897  -     Edmund Barton heads a conference to discuss the proposed constitution for the Commonwealth of Australia.

1923  -     French mime artist, Marcel Marceau, is born. 

1942  -     Nine Japanese aircraft bomb the town of Katherine in Australia's Northern Territory. 

1974  -     Tasmania records its highest rainfall within a single day. 

1987  -     A barge carrying 3,200 tons of trash leaves New York Harbor in search of a dumping ground, only to return months later, still carrying the trash.

Cheers - John

There's another thing that separates humans from other species - we're the only one that accumulates trash, and certainly the only one that sends it into space.
