G'day. I'm surprised this has not gone. Born in Hobart. Was reportedly one of 2 that were something.
Cheers.

Sorry Sandy. Not a nurse. During her career she worked for the Evening news and the London Daily mail. Cheers.

G'day Sheba. That's her. Who do you have for us?
Cheers.
LOUISE MACK
1870-1935 | NSW | War correspondent, Journalist
Louise Mack was one of Australias most notable female war correspondents, and the most controversial. The flamboyant Mack was also a poet and novelist. Her hero was British newspaper baron Lord Northcliffe, for whom she wrote romantic serials. She was a columnist for The Bulletin until she left Sydney in 1901 for London where she wrote for the influential Review of Reviews. In 1914, in Belgium, she reported on the German invasion for Northcliffes Daily Mail and Evening News. Returning home, she toured Australia giving extravagant accounts of her war experiences. She also wrote for the early AustralianWomens Weekly.

Unusual for Sheba not to respond, especially after 6 days. Hope she is OK. Maybe camping somewhere with no Internet ! Anyone know how to contact her and check to see she is OK.

Silly mix-up with medications led me to have nearly a week in Hospital. Got home about an hour ago.
I'm fine now. " Only the good die young."

It's good to hear you're good because you're not good Sheba yes it is easy to get those pills mixed up especially when they give you another generic brand that is a different colour and shape and looks like one you already take. I've been offline too, I've been visiting the Gawler ranges and had a look at Lake Giardener.

Thanks for all your kind thoughts folks. I really am OK now, but you should have kept the game going without me.

Looks as though I have to do it anyway. Who is this guy ? Easy !!!
Harry Houdini was a Hungarian-born American illusionist and stunt performer, noted for his sensational escape acts. He first attracted notice in vaudeville in the US and then as "Harry 'Handcuff' Houdini" on a tour of Europe, where he challenged police forces to keep him locked up. Soon he extended his repertoire to include chains, ropes slung from skyscrapers, straitjackets under water, and having to escape from and hold his breath inside a sealed milk can with water in it.

Richie148,
Date of last post shows under posters detail at the bottom.
In this case Cadpete got the answer, and Sheba acknowledged that and now we wait for Cadpete to ost the next mystery person. Same as the Where is This quiz elsewhere on the forum.
Getting to choose a picture and post for others to find is the prize for getting the quiz correct. Wait until Cadpete has posted and then try to guess who he posts so you can have a go.

Hi Richie
It looks like you have made the same mistake as me, when I first came to this part of the forum, so you are in good company
The idea is to let the person who put up the picture, confirm who the winner was, before the winner posts their picture
I thought that the person, looked a lot like a young Billy The Kid, an American gun slinger/bandit
But I seem to get a lot wrong lately
You found her Jack. Where to from here ?
