I didn't see the Splade in there (Combined Knife/Fork/Spoon) A great Aussie idea.
The Yanks only combined the Fork & Spoon (Spork). It took an Aussie to place a knife edge on one.

I don't think Lawrence Hargrave gets enough recognition for modern flight.
His Box Kite experiments are where the Wright Brothers got their Box Plane idea from.
