I started off at a basic "Mermaid" Wikipedia page that had a ton of links from there leading to mermaids in music, books, movies, history and so on. The next link I clicked on was "Mermaids Cave". Mermaids Cave is an undercut sandstone cave located in Australia. The link didn't say much more about it except that it was used in a scene from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, so I followed that link to learn more about it.
It turns out Mad Max Beyond Thunderstorm (also referred to as Mad Max 3) is an Australian action film made by Warner Brothers in 1985. A sequel to Mad Max 2, Max is played by Mel Gibson and is exiled to the desert were he encounters an isolated cargo cult. I should probably know more about Mel Gibson considering his name is a big one in Hollywood, but I don't so I decided to click on his name to learn more about what other acting roles he has played.
Born on January 3rd, 1956 Mel Gibson is an American actor most known for his role as Mad Max. Fun Fact: our birthdays are 6 days apart! His net worth is $425 million and he has 9 children. He also starred in Braveheart, where he won a Golden Globe. He not only acts in movies, he also produces them. Some of his successful movies include Hacksaw Ridge, and The Passion of the Christ.

Hey McKenzie! Since I already commented on your intro, I saw this post and thought it looked interesting. Its crazy how you started with Mermaids and ended with Mel Gibson. Wikipedia trails are so cool and I remember doing them in high school. Mel Gibson seems like a name I should know but actually know so little. Having nine children is pretty crazy!
