Very off topic, but a definite question for Beth and Derek. According to my
calender, 11 March is Eight Hours Day in Tasmania. Could you please enlighten
this poor Yank as to what exactly is Eight Hours Day? Thanks.

To celebrate the introduction of the eight hour work day in Tasmania, not that
it counts for much these days:)

Australia, land of the long weekend.
