Firstly let me say I have tried to research the difference between facts and trivia, and can not find a definitive answer. Secondly this is not stuff i know but stuff i have "found". Third I have tried my very best to make it interesting...but i find unusual stuff interesting. Lastly if i am wrong, let me just say what i say to my kids...i may be occasionally mistaken but i am rarely wrong 🙂
Let us begin: Australia was the second country in the world to give women the right to vote in 1902.
The only place in the world where you can still find the lung fish which is a living fossil from the Triassic period 350 million years ago.
And finally Who remembers what animal was on the 2 cent coin?

@simontemplar I believe history is fine but it's more important to put one's efforts into the urgent needs of today.
For this reason I propagate locally indigenous wildflowers for a revegetation project at my local bushland reserve. I don't want my local plant and animal species to go extinct while I sit on my hands & do nothing. I prefer to be active and effective in conserving local indigenous plants and animal species and endangered habitats. I like to "think global, act local".
Maybe you could think about being effective for a local cause rather than only using extinct species for interest/entertainment? Why not be effective? Us people with mental ilness (I have schizophrenia) can make a formidable, and more importantly effective, difference.

I knew there was a reason i liked pirates:
Pirates wore earrings because they believed it improved their eyesight.
