History

George Washington commandeered the Airports in 1772 . reference: D.Trump
 The Fourth of July has come and gone but fortunately we discover new things all the time. US president Donald Trump has now informed us of a forgotten segment of the Revolutionary War and how, the great American patriot George Washington defeated King George's Royal Air Force in 1772.
Juanita Neilsen disappeared from Kings Cross in 1975
More importantly- it was on the 4th of July in 1975 that the Sydney campaigning journalist Juanita Neilsen disappeared after attending a Kings Cross nightclub in the afternoon to discuss advertising for her small local newspaper Now. Her body has never been found. Neislen was an heiress to the Mark Foy's department store fortune and published the newspaper  in Kings Cross. She opposed large scale development and managed to get building unions onside who banned work on the beautiful Victorian terrace houses that line Victoria Street in the Cross. They still stand today. Whispers has heard several theories on what happened to Neilsen. It's difficult to know the truth except to say such an outrage would never happen today.
You can read more about the case at her Wikipedia entry.
