SYNOPSIS: Anyone who thinks that Australia is a scientific backwater, having given the world little more than vegemite, the wine-dispensing cask and the Hills-Hoist clothes line, should think again. Who built the world's smallest machine? Who's studies of exploding stars billions of light years away suggested that the universe is expanding at an increasing rate? Who discovered the richest deposits of gold, silver, copper and zinc sulphide? Who designed a technique to reconstruct dinosaurs in colour, a method for mapping the oceans in three dimensions? etc etc etc. You get the idea. Australian Scientists thats who.
