In Michelle Collins' Column, Good Mail, is the story of a new book , 'Girt, the Unauthorised History of Australia' out in the shops now. Recalling stuffups & curiousities, forgotten eccentrics that have made us who we are. included is the story of 21 Irish convicts who escaped Sydney in 1792. They planned to walk to China, which they thought was 150 miles to the North, armed with a piece of paper with a compass drawn on it. Whenever they came to an obstacle whoever had the piece of paper would turn it so that North was facing an easier path. :D [Gotta love it, they must have been the ancestors of our current batch of politicians.]
The interview was with Grantlee Kieza and Stephen Holland, the original Superfish, 1500m world champion. A real eyeopener, worth a read. I'm not sure about copyright, so I wont post it Bob
