G'day Big Mick,

" ... Cause I will bet that they wish all of you would go back to where you came from... "

I reckon they thought that even before our (English, Irish and Dutch, in my case) ancestors moved their bags in. Captain Cook's journal, 1770, speaking of when he tried a bit of the old "trading a few glass beads for something valuable" trick, he reckons that "They did not want for anything that we had and only wanted us to go away."

Terra Nullius my foot!

Regard(les)s,

Bob Bolton
