Duck - I read about it some time ago. Amazing.
Here goes - what am I.
I was called the best thing to happen since the gold rush.
I started work in 1961.
I am far more sensitive now than when I first started.
I look the same but I have been rebuilt and updated many times.
I was in a movie.
Some urban myths.
I was NOT a nuclear target.
I can be seen up close in google.
Cricket - never happened.
First words were after 8 minutes not right at the start.
Cryptic clues.

What is the name of the creek that flowed into the Thomson River, Victoria, from a steep valley several kilometers south of Fulton's Creek. I also want the original name of the person 'a ticket of leave gentleman' it was named after.
Good one Loamer- over to you mate.
Cheers mate.
I am a place in Australia. I contain several lakes. I was first sighted by the British from the sea in 1800 but not settled for about another 40 years. My early buildings were made of dolomite and mostly are still standing. My other building material is still quite unique. I have a railway station but no railway lines - nil, none, zilch. Something wonderful happens here once a year - a wonderful natural event and it has only been in the past years the reason this happened has been explained. I have a fountain and it is claimed it was one of the first made in the Colony of Victoria, yes Victoria, but am I in Victoria? Hmmmmm I have an arch.
