It's a pity it looks like Capt Cooks Cottage will be pulled down and returned to England due to constant graffiti about "the invasion" defacing it. It was a gift to Australia by the UK. It's like the US returning the Statue of Liberty to France.

I bought a NEW Truck a couple of months ago, but took it back to the dealer the next day because I couldn’t get the radio to work.
The technician kindly explained to me that this was a “SMART TRUCK” and the radio was “VOICE-ACTIVATED”.
He turned the radio on and said, “Nelson” to the radio.
The radio replied, “Ricky or Willy?”“Willy” he continued and ‘On the road again’ came on the speakers.
Then he said “AC/DC”, and in an instant, ‘Highway to hell’ took the place of Willy Nelson.
I drove away happy and for the next few days every time I said “Beethoven”
I would get beautiful classical music or if I said “Beatles” I would get one of their greatest hits.
Well, yesterday, a fella ran a red light and nearly smashed into my new truck but luckily I swerved in time to avoid it.
I yelled out “YOU STUPID FUCKING IDIOT!”And the radio said, “Peter Dutton or Barnaby Joyce?”
I love my new truck!

How many would know what I was referring to, without Googling it, if I said I was barracking for Narrm.

ABC News ditches English name of famous city in favour of description in indigenous language
- ABC uses local Maori name for Wellington in New Zealand
- Has been ABC policy in Australia for over two years
The ABC has been praised for using a local indigenous place name during the coverage of the Women's World Cup.
Coverage of the 1-1 draw in Wellington, New Zealand, between the United States and the Netherlands on Thursday afternoon was accompanied by the place name 'Te Whanganui-a-Tara', in the Indigenous Maori language.
The phrase, which is what Wellington was originally called, literally translates as the 'great harbour of Tara'.
Tara was the son of a famous Maori navigator called Whatonga sent down from the Mahia Peninsula by his father to explore southern lands for their people to settle.
'Love seeing the ABC using te reo Māori for the placenames in their FIFA coverage!', tweeted Andrew Macfarlane, Australia Correspondent for Television New Zealand's 1NewsNZ.
It is not clear if this is an ABC policy for all foreign locations.

It is a point of conjecture among historians whether James Cook, the famous navigator, ever lived in the house, but almost certainly he visited his parents at the house.
