I've come to the Auckland War Memorial Museum to see the last Japanese Kamikaze Zero of the Second World War. In Rabaul this Zero was readied for a Kamikaze attack on Allied forces, but the ground crew delayed attaching the 250kg bomb, the war ended, and the last Kamikaze remained grounded, saving untold lives including that of the young pilot. This Anzac wasn’t awarded any bravery medals, but his is an amazing First World War story from Goondiwindi like no other. Please follow the link on my profile for the Anzac Day story, "Submarines and the Red Baron: The Dassie Gore Story." When from your 1869 church you're given the chalice to take home, does it mean you're really important? Or just that you're the only person to admit that you had a silver cleaning cloth? 🙂 There’s a World Record that Australia forgot, and it still stands today 137 years later. Please share and follow if you like it. Follow the link on my profile for the story, "The World Record Australia Forgot." The city's nervous system was tested, and Priscilla took her secret to the grave. Please follow and share this remarkable story via the link on my profile, "Priscilla Runaway Girl of Toowoomba." You can hear me live with Damo on 4AK Darling Downs after 7.30am Tuesdays and the read the story on my website www.historyoutthere.com the following Friday. And for your weekly double-hit you can hear me live with Doctor Dan on Ipswich's West Bremer Radio after 8am Saturdays and read the story the following Sunday. (All Brisbane times.) The #historyoutthere never stops! The first major sporting travesty in Queensland happened in 1865 and it changed the course of the colony’s sports history. Please follow the link on my profile for the story, "The Foden Affair." In 1866 the constable’s wife was a key witness in great fowl affair. Read, hear, like, share and follow the full and fowl details via the link on my profile and the story, "The Dalby Fowl Affair." This week I ventured out to the Western Australian wheat belt to scramble to see the rock art tens of thousands of years old in Mulka’s Cave. The art was beautiful. In contrast, the dreamtime story was an awful warning of inbreeding, child murder and cannibalism.
