Origins of Australian place names?

Somewhere on the Cunningham Highway, maybe near Thane ( Ian? ), there were trivia questions designed to act against fatigue. You know, what is Qld's highest mountain? Answer a few ks further on. Get the kids involved etc, etc. Travelling the road as often as I did in the day, these became seriously boring. However, one question sticks in my mind. Q; what is Qld's largest living organism? To which some wag had replaced the answer with 'Clive Palmer'. Works for me.

[Tins]

Ok, I'll bite.

What year did Lassiter claim to have discovered his reef of gold?

I actually knew his son and grandson many years ago.
Bob Jr had a factory unit next to my dad's workshop.
He was a very good engineer.

They'd been out there many times looking and believed the reef did exist!

The anti-fatigue trivia questions are statewide, on major highways.

Trivia night, Saturday 01/06/19?
The venue is open to suggestions, preferably somewhere convenient for the majority of participants.
If someone wants to organise a trip we can work in with that, but it would be better if the venue was reasonably accessible to folk who only want/can do the Saturday night.
Usual terms and conditions, bring your credit cards, promissory notes and/or sheep station deeds.

[V8Ian]

Any interest? Steve and I are happy to organise the quiz if someone else can step up to sorting the venue.

1 June is passed, so when were you thinking?
We're moving house this weekend and we're away or committed all August, but how about September?

[Homestar]

How about the Ball Court Hotel here in Sunbury... 😁

You guy’s will need to get a road trip happening though. 😇

[V8Ian]

Robin Hood Tavern in Frankston would be more betterer.

[Homestar]

That’s nearly an hour and a half from my place...

[Saitch]

Well that counts the "Kevi" out then as that would be about 3 hours for you.

[350RRC]

Only been to the Kevi once, about 30 years ago.

10.30 am, went in with an ex, there was a young chick in the bar feeding a bub, young bloke who looked a bit like her poured me a beer................. no one else there. [bighmmm]

We got back on the road after a couple, heading south.

[Saitch]

Dropped in there for lunch on the way to Mansfield after a night in Walhalla. One thing turned to another and we ended up having dinner there that night and got brekky the next day.:beer:

[V8Ian]

Obviously a good spot. [smilebigeye]

[Saitch]

Now, I don't want to harp on the issue but I've recently celebrated my 66th birthday and was wondering if someone would be so kind as to come up with a time and place for another trivia experience within the next 40 years or so?
