From Oz U.S. markets shut for Georges birthday, to give you a brief rundown on Oz--it has been inhabited by indigineous people for many thousads of years before (some calll it an invasion--others settlement) (depends on your point of view) Eurpeans came in 1788---Captain Arthur Phillip sailed out from the Old Dart with 13 ships under his command (I won a biro aged 10 for knowing this) the two main ships were Serious and Supply--he had convicts on board that were mainly just poor people with no food to eat (they all had their own individual story's to tell--thats basically it though) and they set up digs in Oz--very harsh days in the early colony--if you wanted to plant some spuds--the soil unused to cultivation--you shovel used to break on you--in the rly years they were close to starvation many times. Before that event though in 1769 Captain Cook came out to observe the transit of Venus--eventually he landed in Australia on the East Coast---had a bit of a shipwweck at one point which he managed to get out of--anyway when he went back to London--he said to them that Botany Bay would make a good spot to settle Terra Australias Incognito (other explorers on the West Coast had been before--people such as Dirk Hartog--1616 with his pewter plate) cut a long story short when Captain Phill arrived--he found the soil a bit sandy--so he hopped back in the boat again and sailed north and found another spot which he called Port Jackson--which is now known as Sydney--named after Lord Sydney--who was a baron or some such thing back in England. What happened to Cook?--he was quite a humanitarian man--you can read his journals today at the National Library in Canberra (Oz's capital) (multos) (I do smartcards LOL) he later met his death in your Hawaii he was merely saying hello to them--when they turned on him and hacked him into little pieces--a few others got it too as they tried to get back into the row boat--I might have this date wrong--I think that was the third voyage either 1773 or 4--in his journals he made some very interesting comments about Tahiti and what he saw the future to be and he was spot on with them--if interested read "Invasion of the South Pacific" by Alan Morehead.
Down below are abbreviated headlines about todays conflicts (still the same sadly)(more hi tech now--same psychology).
