~ passports were originally a temporary measure a bit like how much liquid you can take on a plane!
~ So Australia was said multiple times to have been “Grown off the sheep’s back” and that’s because des[ite its location making shipping things long-term and expensive, a captain way back before it was federated as Australia who knew King George of England helped out some spanish sailors.
They gave him specifically ewes to help provision his journey in thanks. These ewes were Merino Sheep, and the captain did not eat them but instead turned around and took them to king george, who had specifically rams, and traded some rams for ewes, and this set the scene for the breeding of the Australian Merino, that has more fleece per sheep, and hardier, less likely to die sheep, without the original Merino’s tendency to flat out die
I used to fear make up, because it caused me allergic reactions, but I’m way past that now, and pet cats every day despite allergic reactions, sometimes while doing makeup, and this is partly due to a love of theatre and an interest in historical ways of doing beauty.
