Wild: Stories from Western Australia's Past
Welcome to Western Australia. The stories from our past are fascinating, unbelievable, and often, unknown. Have you heard of the great Emu War, or the pirate who lived on an island off the coast of Esperance? Did you know we had a tiny sovereign nation inside our borders, a referendum to secede from the rest of the nation, and Australia’s first female member of parliament? We have had corrupt politicians and shipwrecks, jail breaks, mining boom and bust, strikes, brave rescues, and ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Western Australia has always been a bit wild, and there are so many fascinating stories to explore.
The Wild podcast has been a passion project of mine, and I love sharing these great stories from our history. You can listen to Wild: Stories from Western Australia's Past wherever you get your podcasts. For more information on individual episodes, visit the Wild website here.
