Melbourne, in Australia, was originally called Batmania. In May and June 1835, the area which is now central and northern Melbourne was explored by John Batman who negotiated a purchase of 2400 sq km with Wurundjeri elders. Two years later, the settlement was named Batmania after Batman. It didn’t last long. Later that year the settlement was renamed Melbourne after the British Prime Minister, William Lamb, Second Viscount Melbourne.

Michael Grab is a master of rock balancing – he can pile them up in all sorts of gravity-defying formations, and there’s no glue involved. He has performed at festivals and events in Sweden, Scotland and Germany. He has balanced rocks in Croatia, Italy, Belgium, France, even the shores of Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands.
The wombat deposits square poos on logs, rocks and even upright sticks that it uses to mark its territory. And when wombats are courting, the female runs figures of eights until she’s exhausted and the bloke catches her for some wombat love.

Lake Hillier on Middle Island, the largest of the islands that make up the Recherche Archipelago off the coast of Esperance in Western Australia, is pink. From above the lake appears a solid bubblegum pink. No-one fully knows why. Scientists speculate that the colour comes from a dye created by bacteria that lives in the salt crusts.
