When it comes to a talk about Australia, I begin with 3 words...
NOw as for the main mistake which I picked up in Yoricks post (infact the only one i picked up)...
The original name for Oz, the very early western one that was used in western dare i say it- civilisation, was NOT Terra Australus. It was infact a bit longer then that: Terra Australis Nondom Cognito- this is one of the very few latin phrases I know.. it translates roughly to "Great Unknown Southern Land" I like the great bit!!
