Post; Australia and New Zealand


This is a type we Tried on the AAFC Website. I start by asking a question, and the first person to get it correct, asks the next question, and so on.
With this one, it can only be questions about Australian or New Zealand, or anything that relates back to either question.

First Question, For 5 Milbucks
Field Marshal Sir Thomas Blamey, Australia's only Field Marshal, held a very senior and powerful position in the Victorian Public Service, what was it?

Bory, I will give you back the 5 milbucks as I cant think of any questions to ask at this point. So if anybody else would like to ask away "fill your boots".

Ok this thread seems to have died.
But it is hard to come up with a suitable question....

How about
"what is the mascot of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment?"
