Listen Later

In this episode we consider ten sometimes strange but true facts about Australia. These are:

  • Australia really is populated by extremely dangerous animals that can and will kill you
  • Australia was established as a penal colony
  • The Prime Minister is missing
  • Our strange ‘population’
  • Giving women the vote
  • How much can a koala bear?
  • Australians love a good fence
  • We eat our coat of arms
  • We have a Queen - Australia is a Monarchy
  •  

    For this episode I recommend thee movie Rabbit Proof Fence and also check out the Northern Territory News – it’s bound to have a croc story. Check out their web page at: http://www.ntnews.com.au/
