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… 😉

Fascinating and delicious. 🤤

"A lot of Easter traditions – including hot cross buns and lamb on Sunday – stem from medieval Christian or even earlier pagan beliefs. The chocolate Easter egg, however, is a more modern twist on tradition."

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.

Ep 64, the final in the Buckley series, we hear about what happened after Buckley made contact with Batman’s party from the Port Phillip Association.

He eventually moves back into the white society, trying to live a quiet, conflict-free life & records his recollections living amongst the Wathawurrung.

Re-posting after correcting a faulty link. Thanks to those who let me know. <3

"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.
