Happy New Year!

We kick off 2025 by adding a new format in which we look at a different week from each year in the 20th Century. And what better place to start than 100 years ago? In the first week of January 1925, Australia was wowed not only by a world record test cricket attendance at the MCG but also by a giant leap forwards in live radio coverage. Also this week: a Melbourne ghost mystery, dark accusations made against a future prime minister, and the sensational disappearance of national celebrity Jack DeGaris (pictured).
