1 Name a country that arrived at our shores before England.

2 What date did Cook arrive?

3 What date did Captain Arthur Phillip arrive? (to be honest I only know the year of this one)

Well there is the story of the Mahogony ship (down near Warranembul). It was believed to be of Portugese or Chinese origin. But it hasn't been seen since the 1880's, lost to the dunes or finally rotted to nothing. But if it was portugese they believe it may have been a ship that was lost in the 1500s. Got photos of the plaques somewhere.

But various Asians and Islanders were on our northern coastline.

Not to mention the Aborigines came here at some point (via India in one of the first migrations out of Africa suppoedly proved by some crazy genetic scientists.. if you believe some BBC doco I watched)

Surely tens of thousands of years ago Australia was still attached to the rest of the world, so they wouldn't have arrived on our shores, they would have just jumped the fence.

Hey Maxe - aboriginal people can also be highly paid professionals with three degrees, who have proficient use in IT resources and own multiple assets. Oh they also visit the QGL forum website and try to get on with their life in friendly social circles.

i call bluff!

i think what you ment to say was- Oh they also visit the QGL forums website and try to get on with their life in a hostile social circle.

everybody here hates on everyone else for insignificant reasons, why should you be any different.

for example. we all hate on booyah because he is homosexual, but thats his life and we shouldn't be so cruel to him about it, but we are.
