  1. 1851 was the great Australian Gold Rush so the wealth of Victoria subsequently rose. The Sydney Opera House was designed to be different, but without much thought given to the activities within its peaks. Cast members have long complained about the lack of space, the narrow hallways and the long climbs to get to and from the stage. You can research everything online.

  2. Argh! It’s called wattle not waddle! Use your Ts! We don’t populate the centre of Australia because of the extreme climate, the lack of infrastructure, and the lack of water. Google Earth can show you why that’s the case. So what’s out there? Vast cattle stations covering thousands of square miles with a few buildings to house the station hands and provide meals for them on part of the owner’s Homestead. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattle_station

  3. Switzerland is a tiny country, of similar area to the Snowy Mountains in Australia. We don’t get a lot of snow in Australia, but where it’s cold enough to have snow, that area is about the same size as Switzerland. If you google for a map of Australia with Switzerland overlaid on it, you’ll see Australia doesn’t have much snow in comparison. It’s rather like a green pea on a dinner plate!
