When I was a young un growing up in Darwin, we had what we called 'cracker night'. For this special night, my dear old mum used to buy me a large box of assorted explosive goodies, that in total probably contained a couple of kilos of black powder. - lots of fun.

If I remember correctly, cracker nights proper name was 'Guy Fawkes' night. I think it was a celibration about somebody wanting to blow up parliment ?

Terrorism type actions have been around for a long time, certainly before 47 - just the names and reasons change
