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, I have just learnt two things. That Anna and the King wasn't just a story. And she probably was Australian. But certainly had been a resident.
