Listen Later

The 1932 Great Emu War might just be the weirdest, most futile military exercise in Australian history, so much so that it’s captured the minds of folk across the globe.

Professor Andrea Gaynor shares her extensive knowledge and little-known facts about the Great Emu War with Jeff Bullen in the latest episode of Planet Perth. 

He also catches up with State Library of Western Australia librarian Peter Edwards to unpack the incredible media coverage surrounding the event.

Planet Perth is an RTRFM podcast series about the weird, wacky and unexplained history of our eccentric city.
