    Elimbah is a town and locality in Moreton Bay Region, Queensland, Australia. The traditional owners of Elimbah were the Kabi people, who called the area as the "place of the grey water snake".[2][4] The town was originally a campsite known as The Six Mile when it became a resting place for horses and bullocks. In 1890, with the breakthrough of the North Coast railway line, it became known as "36miles 68chains". On 20 September 1902, at the urging of local residents, it was officially named Elimbah.

Their Most Common Eye Color is Green 5. They’ve Got Sass to Spare 6. One Even Ran For Office! in 2012, one ambitious cat in Halifax, Canada ran for mayor. While the spunky Tuxedo Stan may not have won the election, he did succeed in raising awareness for his homeless brethren, spurring city council to donate funds for an affordable spay and neuter clinic. Not bad for a cat! 7. Tuxedo Cats Play a Bunch of Animated Roles 8. Some Famous Real-life Tuxedo Cats Also Existed We’d be remiss if we failed to mention Socks, the striking tuxie owned by former US president, Bill Clinton. Also worthy of note is Humphrey, who took up residence with Britain’s Prime Minister at 10 Downing Street from 1988-2006. There was also Oscar—or “Unsinkable Sam” as he’s often called—who miraculously survived the sinking of THREE different ships during WWII. Other historical figures who enjoyed life alongside a beloved black and white cat include Shakespeare, Sir Isaac Newton, and Beethoven. 9. They Have Interesting Genetics 10. A Black and White Cat Holds the Record for the Loudest Purr 11. One Famous Tuxie Was a Decorated War Hero! In 1949, a brave tuxedo cat named Simon was awarded the PDSA Dickin Medal—Britain’s highest honor bestowed upon animals in wartime. Simon boosted morale and hunted pesky rodents aboard a British Royal Navy ship called the Amethyst. Unfortunately, he was seriously injured during an attack and succumbed to a viral infection because of his wounds. Nevertheless, Simon’s legacy lives on, inspiring owners of black and white cats worldwide.

Frank Shields and wife on St Georges Day celebration 1921

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Saint George's Day, also called the Feast of Saint George, is the feast day of Saint George as celebrated by various Christian Churches and by the several nations, old kingdoms, regions, states, countries, and cities of which Saint George is the patron saint - including Bulgaria, England, Georgia, Portugal, as well as the Spanish communities of Cáceres, Alcoy, Aragon, and Catalonia. The saint also has his state holiday in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[1] Saint George's Day is normally celebrated on 23 April. However, the Church of England's rules denote that no saints' day should be celebrated between Palm Sunday and the Sunday after Easter Day so if 23 April falls in that period the celebrations are transferred to after it. 23 April is the traditionally accepted date of the saint's death in the Diocletianic Persecution of AD 303.[2] A traditional custom on St. George's day is to fly or adorn the St. George's Cross flag in some way: pubs, in particular, can be seen on 23 April festooned with garlands of St. George's crosses.[citation needed] It is customary for the hymn "Jerusalem" to be sung in cathedrals, churches, and chapels on St. George's Day, or on Sunday closest to it. Traditional English food and drink may be consumed.[c Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_George%27s_Day

    Canungra is a rural town and locality in the Scenic Rim Region, Queensland, Australia. Located in South East Queensland, Canungra is situated in the Gold Coast hinterland, 32 kilometres (20 mi) west of the Gold Coast and 75 kilometres (47 mi) south of Brisbane.[citation needed] Mount Misery is on the north-western boundary of the locality with Biddadaba (28.0145°S 153.1398°E) rising to 530 metres (1,740 ft) above sea level.[5][6] Residents and businesses in Canungra get their water supply from the Canungra Creek, a tributary of the Albert River. The slopes around Canungra are steep and forested, with some cleared farmlands and rural homes in the flatter valley areas. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canungra,_Queensland
