April 9 Today in history

Gday...

1865  -     Ruthless bushranger, "Mad" Dan Morgan, is shot dead. 

1895  -     Astronomer James Keeler proves that the rings of Saturn are made up of particles, not solid as previously believed.

1947  -     The Ghost of Point Hicks legend is spawned when a newspaper reports on the mysterious disappearance of a lighthouse keeper from Cape Everard, Victoria. 

2003  -     Iraqis and US troops pull down a massive statue of Saddam Hussein in a show of contempt for the dictator.

Cheers - John
