to America for having such a good standing knowledge of their history. As much as I love being Australian (despite the government), and how we excel in quite a few areas, awareness of our history is not a real strong point. Most Aussies can't even name the first Prime Minister, and he was in power only a hundred years ago. I think it was Edmund Barton, but I can't be bothered looking it up! Most of us can probably name more US presidents than our own Prime Ministers.
