Australian Trivia Only

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Correct Macca, your turn, we had that trivia question at bowls when it was raining & we couldn't play.

Think the current DST started in 1971?

OK Folks,
Here's one:
This was a common repurposing of sailing ship water tanks in 1800s Australia.
The scale is a bit grander than most.
So where is it?
I've included a front view of the house as a hint for those who may have driven past this historic house without doing the tour.
