Who do you think invented the Pavlova??? 🎂 The Kiwis claim that New Zealand did, Aussies reckon it's there's. Both countries love eating this delicious cake around Christmas time topped with yummy summer fruits. After a lot of research (and not enough cake testing), we decided to give it to our Kiwi neighbours and included the Pavlova card in our Explore New Zealand Flashcard set. At least the Aussies have the Lamington, or do we??? 😕 #lamingtons #pavlova #ausvsnz #focfunfacts Anna Pavlova, Flashcard, Wtf Fun Facts, Love Eat, Aussies, Summer Fruit, Yummy Cakes

Did you know that kangaroos are left-handed? The evidence comes from hours spent observing multiple species in the wild. Two species of roo and one wallaby all showed the left-handed trend. But other marsupials, which walk on all fours, did not show the same bias.

Did you know that dingos can rotate their heads almost 360 degrees to track other animals such as birds in flight? When I saw this fact, I imagined a dingo with a spinning head like an owl, but they can't actually go as far as an owl. The dingo can rotate it's head 180 degrees each way making it 360 degrees. But owls can actually spin either way 270 degrees! #focfunfacts #funfacts Australia Animals, Cool Pets, Birds In Flight, Owls, Spinning, Track

Did you ever wonder how film and movies all began? Who came up with the crazy idea to project moving images on to the wall? Well, wonder no more. In 1895, the Lumiere brothers first projected a flickering image onto a wall of the Grand Cafe in Paris, and this was the first commercial public-screening of film. This made France the birthplace of cinema, and that's why we include the cinema card in our Explore France flashcard pack. #frenchcinema #frenchfacts #FOCfunfacts French Icons, Study Techniques, Paris Cafe, Vocabulary Cards, Good Parenting, Card Reading, Encouragement
