Coast busters

Article Abstract:

The pursuit of profit led to the European discovery of Australia 400 years ago and it was the voyages of Abel Tasman that were the apogee of Dutch charting Australia. By 1644, the north, west and half the south coast of the continent and the southern half of Tasmania had been chartered by the Dutch and the great Dutch mapmaker, Joan Blaeu, attached the name Nova Hollandia to the northern part of the continent.

Eccentric, c'est chic

Article Abstract:

Hardcore eccentricity is not the forte of only the rich and famous but it helps and it can be of two types, healthy or psychiatric. A healthy eccentric is someone who is highly creative like Bill Gates and eccentrics are found to be very intelligent, exceedingly curious and confident but experts might differ on the finer points of what constitutes eccentricity.
