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!!!

Well, as no-one has put up a new question, and I seem to have correctly answered the last actual question posed, here's one:
Name two unusual aspects of the ancestry of political journalist/satirist Mungo MacCallum.
(Apart from his sense of humour, and Gough Whitlam's description of him. :roll: )
Mr Google, stand by for the rush... ;) 8-)

That’s one of them... four generations before him were all named Mungo. (So he’s Mungo MacCallum V.))
What else is interesting about his ancestors?

Being polite/tolerant, Shirley.
However, if you want me to be picky, it’s ‘should have’ not ‘should of’...😜😁
