24.01.2022 Did you know? In 2017, the NSW government decided that it would let the public name Sydneys newest ferry "What could go wrong?", you ask. "Where have I seen this before?", you ponder? ... Well, not to be outdone by our British friends, the great Australian public submitted, and subsequently voted en masse for, the name "Ferry McFerryface" To their credit, the NSW government kept their word and the ferry did actually get its famous name - for 1 brief Summer.

19.01.2022 Did you know? In 2016, the British government had a conundrum. They had built a $300+ million research vessel but were struggling to come up with a suitable name. "Why not let the public decide?" said one staffer. "Genius" said another. "Youre going to regret that" said everyone with a functioning brain. ... Despite some actual fitting names being presented, a true revolutionary suggested the name "Boaty McBoatface". The internet quickly caught wind and it became the most popular name and actually won the online poll. The British government didnt play ball and decided to name the vessel the RRS Sir David Attenborough instead. However, one of its automated submarines had the glorious honour of being named Boaty McBoatface. Boaty McBoaface is now being used to search under the Antarctic ice at depths of 6,000 metres.
