Notes -- A little biography I did for school. This man was truly brilliant. I thought it was time you Americans learnt a bit of Australian history. :D
And also, the reason the dates are written "On 10 February, 1867" instead of "On the 10th of February, 1867" is because the public service (in Australia, anyway) has changed it's way of doing it. I know this because my dad works for the public service and marks my writing. Just thought I'd slip the disclaimer in :)
