I ran across a good Australia question doing some research for an earlier episode, so here it is, along with four friends.
- Maybe leadership wasn’t his strong suit. During the Rum Rebellion of 1808, this man was relieved of the governorship of New South Wales by Major George Johnson, much as he had been removed from another position of authority by Fletcher Christian almost twenty years before. Who is he?
- Which fantastic American architect designed Australia’s capital city of Canberra? Along with Frank Lloyd Wright, he was one of the founders of the so-called Prairie School of architecture.
- What name has been omitted from the music clip? This person, an aboriginal Tasmanian who lived in the nineteenth century, lived as outlaw for several years on the Australian continent before being capture and exiled to Flinders Island.
- The first actual opera performed publicly in the Sydney Opera House was what Prokofiev work? The full opera runs more than four hours which is, all in all, shorter than you might expect.
- Didgeridoo music, Chris Hemsworth, and Danny McBride as a long lost son all feature in the recently released trailer for what movie sequel that is scheduled for a summer 2018 release, if it actually exists?
