I've Gone Down (Under)

Why the heck am I playing Trivia in an Australian trivia room? I know - crazy, huh? Here I sit in Houston, Texas but have found a great trivia room online that is centered in Australia.

So, I am finding myself knowing what a monotreme is, where the Big Ant, Big Banana, and Big Chook (among others) are, and that Robert Menzies was the longest serving prime minister.

Are you wondering what a monotreme is about now? I know, you Australians (hi, Kerrie!) who pop in regularly have this down, but for those of us who don't, these are egg-laying mammals. Is that wild of what? Check out the echidna and platypus.

Oh, and the national flower is the Golden Wattle - very pretty, but not what I would have expected.

Forget squirrels - they don't have any. It's funny, I never thought about that before, but I do now.

Of course, I don't see any kangaroos or wallabies hopping around on the Gulf coast of Texas either.

Do you think I am going to tell you where to find this trivia room? No. More points for me.

Have a g'day!
