Sinopsis
In this episode we are looking at some strange Australian history that show just how weird a place Australia is. This includes: the Great Emu Wars, when female convicts mooned the Lieutenant-Governor of Tasmania, the woman on the $20 note, our Prime Minister who held a Guinness World record for beer drinking and how the Western Australian town of Esperance tried to fine NASA for littering when Skylab crashed. Here’s a YouTube video on The Great Emu War, very funny: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9G6WCsfoow' A picture of the $20 note featuring Mary Reibey: http://www.polymernotes.com/australia20.html Bob Hawke sculling a schooner in 10 seconds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5mBShX9fdU Email me at: jamesdampier.awp@gmail.com Music courtesy of Dan-O at: http://www.danosongs.com/ Thanks to Ken Dampier for post-production, and for his ever lasting knowledge
