Did anyone know that a fifth of the male Scottish population moved to Poland where they served in the Polish army or established themselves as cloth merchants in the 17th century?
A whole load of facts about Scotland and its relationship with Australia from First Fleet to Federation are there for the uncovering at For Auld Lang Syne at the Art Gallery of Ballarat.
MediaWise's John Myers has been promoting the exhibition. Latest coverage is by Patricia Anderson for Crikey's Daily Review and columnist for Sydney Morning Herald's Spectrum.
Anyone with a Scottish heritage or an interest in what lies under the kilt or over the ocean should get to the gallery before 27 July.
