Removed two items from trivia section[edit]

I have removed the following two items; the first, I had no idea who this quoted person was, or why they were notable, and the second, this legend may be a fact, but I am just not certain it is encylopedia enough. Perhaps someone else can integrate these items into the article at a later date. --Nick Penguin_(contribs) 23:37, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Maurice Saxby said that "what Ethel Turner did for the city family, Mary Grant Bruce did for the bush family."

Legendarily, an English designer of warplanes, concerned that Australian pilots would be too tall to fit in the cockpits, asked his daughter for the heights of Bruce's characters Jim Linton and Wally Meadows.^[1]
