I have been dared to place this quiz question before you.
My claim is simply that you won't get it until I tell you the answer. Let's see, collectively, how good we are!
Q/ Who's was the first voice heard on Australian TV?

Hmmm, nice answers. I'll be handing out the big lollipop tomorrow I think but ,in the meantime, while youse (my next door neighbour talks like that) are in this melancholy mood of retrospectivity, and just to make it interesting , who's was the first FACE seen on Australian Television?
Think carefully how this question is framed.
It wasn't Gyngell
