  • Summary

  • In today's episode, John and Patrick delve into Australia's tumultuous World War I era. They uncover how veterans, armed with patriotism but little farming know-how, embarked on the Soldier Settlement Scheme, only to face an unexpected adversary: the emus. Discover how these flightless birds transformed from protected species to notorious crop destroyers, adding a quirky twist to the hardships of the Great Depression down under.
