Some convicts found exile from their home country unbearable, and would try every escape route to make their way back.
Episode 48 begins retelling the story of one such convict - a man who stole away & reinvented himself time & again.

A new episode awaits recording… just as soon as my voice returns.. 🙄
Don’t get many colds these days but…. 🥴
And here’s a clue - starting in 1928, the idea was more than 10 years in gestation, and really 'took off' after its debut… 😉

Newly discovered diary records landmark sighting of Australia in 1687 - The Age
"I was one of the first [to see it] … as we walked on the poop. At first sight, we thought that it was some ships but as we sailed on … in a short time we saw … there’s land."

@caity Yep, the mighty Snowy Mtns. 😍 Interesting to see the regrowth from 2019-20 & loved checking out all the Hydro places I'd talked about a couple of years back. Stunning country. Got some nice walks in too.

"Museums stocked with 'platysausages' as taxidermists get it wrong on Australian animals."

"We often find flatypuses that are pancake flat. We find fattypuses that are overstuffed, or sometimes the platysausage, which is long and thin and sausage-shaped."
Great article By Zoe Kean , ABC Radio Hobart, with food for thought for museums.
We talked about the confusion experienced by Europeans seeing our Platypus for the first time in Episode 19: The Platypus Controversy.
Very amusing. 😄. Link to listen below if you’re interested.

Here’s a summer road trip to add to the list. 🏄 🚙 🦘🌊 🏊♀️
The ‘Great Ocean Road’ is it one of Victoria’s, indeed Australia’s, most well known international tourist attractions, dotted as it is with beautiful surf & swimming beaches, but you may be surprised to know, the road itself constitutes Australia’s longest War Memorial. In episode 56 we talk about how the construction came about.
