Re: Australian Trivia Only
I know the story of the woman with the camels and the dog. But the other one might need a bit of research.

Re: Australian Trivia Only
Apology accepted.
I, too, remember the story. I think it was the first story to be illustrated on CD when they were new technology. Had a copy. Ditched it when USB thumb drives became The Thing. (New laptop was also sans CD slot. )
Name escapes me... Sarah someone?

Robyn Davidson wrote the book Tracks after her adventure with the camels & dog.
Ricky Megee was the fellow that was abducted & survived the ordeal.

Re: Australian Trivia Only
Shirley,
Looks like you're IT!
BTW, what's the story with the shark attack in Lake Mac?
All we're getting in Vic is that it happened. No details on where or when....
EDIT: Just read your last night's post. Where "across the Lake" was it?? Toronto? Morriset?
Was he a local?

Re: Australian Trivia Only
Ray, it was at Yarrawonga park in Bonnells Bay, he was a 58 yr., old man swimming, attacked his arm below the elbow.
Folklore saying first attack for decades, last one at Rathmines in 1969, certainly been a lot more sighting reported in the lake over the last couple of years, guess the professional fishermen use to catch many of them when they were still operating.
