Winners of March 2006 Trivia
What was the name of the soothsayer that warned Julius Caesar with the now famous line "beware the ides of March" and why did Julius think that the ides had past?
 Answer: It is understood that the soothsayer was the astrologer Spurinna. The theory is that Caesar thought that the ides were on the 13th and had forgotten that in March the ides occur on the 15th. So he left the safety of his home thinking that the ides had past and that there was no danger.  How wrong he was!

There were three winners of a box of Lindt chocolates: Lynn - Goulburn NSW, Heather - Narrogin WA, Paige - Nedlands WA

A Micro Bit of Trivia
Did You Know?
There have been many discussions on the Australian immigration and many books written.  However there has been one book published in the last 12 months that highlights the forgotten immigrants:

Who were the invisible immigrants, what is the name of the book and what was James Hardie's contribution to assist his countrymen to assimilate into the Canberra community?
(Hint: This is a challenge as it is difficult to find on the Internet and will require some reading from the written word)
