Awwww I 'm miles off , i was thinking Lewis Brandt
However , i did uncover a fascinating invention ...
1991 – Buffalo fly trap – In 1991 the CSIRO developed a low-tech translucent plastic tent with a dark inner tunnel lined with brushes. When a cow walks through, the brushed flies fly upwards toward the light and become trapped in the solar-heated plastic dome where they quickly die from desiccation (drying out) and fall to the ground, where ants eat them.

Re: Mornington Crescent, anyone?
Oh but they did! Australians invented cars that combined big V8s with right hand drive and even if there's nothing else, that is reason enough for celebration.

Re: Mornington Crescent, anyone?
Half way there, so not wrong per se. However the surname would be required for the win.
