		This phrase holds true in the garden, as well, because invasive plants would never have taken hold if somebody at some point in time didn't think they were a good idea.
		Native to Australia, fast growing and perfectly suited to our alkaline soil and arid climate, eucalyptus were planted by the thousands in the early part of the 1900s.
		I'm thinking that pretty soon the coast of California will be nothing but pampas grass, and any gardener who has ever tried to remove it from their property will understand just what a menace it can be.

	Rottnest Island - Western Australia - Australia - Travel - smh.com.au
		It seems that as recently as the last Ice Age both Rottnest and Garden Island (see Rockingham) were connected to the mainland.
		The island acquired its name from the explorer Willem de Vlamingh who mistook the quokkas (small wallabies which inhabit the island) for rats and named the island 'Rat's Nest Island; or, in Dutch, Rottenest Island.
		The absence of cars (everyone on the island rides a pushbike or walks), the historic buildings, and the charm of the huge Moreton Bay figs and the quiet waters around the island, have been a magnet for Perth people since the 1850s.

	Western Australia
		Western Australia was, and indeed from its geographical position must have been, the first part of the continent to become actually known, lying as it does just off what was then the main trade route to the East.
		This caused the postponement of the proposed voyage.
		Although the existence of the western side of the continent had been known for certainly two, and possibly three, centuries, it was not until the third decade of the nineteenth century--some forty years after the foundation of the colony of New South Wales--that the British Government decided to take steps to found a settlement there.
