Thread: Trivia and other useless but interesting items

My immediate reaction on seeing that Toad, was Donald?

Looks like the photographer is having a longer Siesta than he bargained for & as for "Psychedelic Hallucinations", well he won't get any of those. He should get a refund.

Those who play with fire...................... curtains.

Fun fact: Qld's beaches are so white because 500,000 cubic metres of NSW silica is washed up the coastline each year.
So its not just people moving to Qld, the state of NSW is itself in the process of relocating to Qld.

And the "Surf Coast" beaches of western Victoria also came from NSW - down the Murray-Darling!

I also think one of the famous L-R overland trips commenced from the same pub.

P.S. Found the link First Overland – Last Overland | Tony Wheeler's Travels "

Back in 1955, so 64 years ago, two Land-

Rovers

from Oxford and Cambridge Universities set out from The

Grenadier

pub in London’s Belgravia district, not too far from Harrods and Harvey Nicks, to drive to Singapore. That turned into a TV programme and a classic

travel

book First

Overland

. It’s back in print if you want to read it."
