Fact Boy Rides and Bugles!

Like a shadow passing in the night,
nobody sees him, or knows who he is,
but Fact Boy still posts.


- 15 percent of Australia's GDP is derived from mining

-.02 percent of the Australian land mass is used by mines. More land is occupied by pubs.

- For each person in Australia there are two sheep and over 16 rabbits. Rabbits were introduced in 1859 by a man who brought 24 rabbits from England in an effort to remind him of home.

- The 'dingo fence' in Australia is the longest fence in the world, and is about twice as long as the Great Wall of China

how does he do it? did he visit each mine and pub to compare sizes? did he walk the fence and the wall just to make sure?
If you can find him, ask him.

Til next time

Fact.
