[slowflow]

Goldtarget, you got it, your question

 

[Goldtarget]

Ok in keeping with the ned kelly theme and because is Friday what was Ned first picked up for by the police? The answer I'm looking for is the action or charge and towards whom?

[slowflow]

Where is the pub which was featured on the ten dollar note?

 

[deepblue]

It would have to be the Royal Hotel of Gulgong on the Old Ten Dollar Paper Note.
Mayne St has the Greatest Wonders of the World, the Fancy Goods Emporium, the Ten Dollar Town Motel (originally the Royal Hotel) and the American Tobacco Warehouse. The latter was one element of the montage on the old Australian $10 note. However, as the word 'American' was considered inappropriate for inclusion on the note, the awning in the reproduction reads 'Gulgong - Dispensary - D. Zimmler'.

 

[slowflow]

Nicely done, all yours deepblue.
