Charming visionaries Chris McCombe and Conan Elphicke examine those interesting chapters in Australian history you’ve vaguely heard of, but (in our view) should know more about. These include grisly incidents such as the wreck of the Batavia and the hanging of Ronald Ryan, epidemics such as smallpox and polio, Aussie inventions, ill-advised exploration, impressive women, and the ongoing and very gradual transition from British dominion to independent nation. Even a touch of Kiwi history.
