lef 11 | 477 14 Jul 2007 / #37Sir Les Paterson is Australia's most famous son.Sir Lesley Colin Patterson is Obese, lecherous and offensive, this farting, belching, nose-picking figure of Rabelaisian excess is an antipodean Falstaff.
osiol 55 | 3,921 14 Sep 2007 / #39Poet Banjo Patterson, who amongst other things, wrote 'Waltzing Matilda'.I saw Jason Donovan star as Rocky in the Rocky Horror Show.Germaine Greer. She's Australian.And of course:The highest mountain in Oz was named after Tadeusz Kościuszko.Most Australians pronounce it 'Mount Kozzy-okso'.
Ronek 1 | 261 14 Sep 2007 / #41The highest mountain in Oz was named after Tadeusz Kościuszko.o wow, didnt know about it. I do agree he was a great man, did a lot fore poles and americans, but why would they love him so much in down under?
osiol 55 | 3,921 14 Sep 2007 / #42but why would they love him so much in down under?A Polish geologist, Paweł Edmund Strzelecki named it. He did a lot of work in Australia.He also knew Florence Nightingale (not Australian).His name down under is pronounced Strezlekky!
Krzysztof 2 | 973 14 Sep 2007 / #43why would they love him so much in down under?they don't, it was simply a Polish geographer (Edmund Strzelecki who emigrated during partitions) who discovered the mountain and named it after Kościuszko
osiol 55 | 3,921 14 Sep 2007 / #45I imagine in Oz, they probably shorten it to just 'Kozzy'.(Nothing to do with goats)
