April 8 Today in history


Gday...

1513  -     Florida, USA, is discovered and claimed for Spain by Juan Ponce de Leon.

1802  -     Matthew Flinders meets French explorer Nicolas Baudin in South Australia, leading to the naming of Encounter Bay. 

1817  -     Australia's first bank, the Bank of New South Wales (later Westpac) is established.

1947  -     The largest recorded sunspot of the twentieth century is observed. 

1990  -     Teenage haemophiliac Ryan White, who received huge media attention when he was ostracised after receiving AIDS-tainted blood, dies.

Cheers - John
