Keith Miller- Part Two
Following the war, Keith Miller dazzled England in the Victory Test and returned to Australia a star.
Debuting for Australia, Miller would dazzle crowds around the world, while also clashing with Don Bradman on a regular basis.
Miller’s on-field antics were matched by the intense interest in what he did off-field. He was rumoured to have had an affair with Princess Margaret, and once while hungover, used a bike to switch fielding positions.

Keith Miller - Part One
When it comes to cricketers, there have been many as exciting on and off the pitch as Keith Ross Miller.
Miller played VFL, flew fighter planes in the war, and was one of, if not the greatest, all-rounder of all time.
Miller combined movie star looks and incredible charm off the field, with a dark side few got to see.

Elias ' Lucky Baldwin' - Part 2
In the second part of our Lucky Baldwin series, Lucky had just escaped death after being shot by a jilted lover.
He followed that up by being shot by another lover almost immediately, which is careless.
Lucky also managed to create a new town, which the Los Angeles Times described as a “gambling hell and booze pleasure park.”

Elias ‘Lucky’ Baldwin Part One
The Santa Anita Park is one of the most famous racetracks in America, a regular host of the Breeders' Cup, but its founder is little known.
Elias 'Lucky' Baldwin was a self-made millionaire, who left behind him a trail of wives, mistresses and unhappy business partners.
In business, he was lucky and shrewd, and his biography starts with the line, 'immoral, unmoral, amoral, Lucky Baldwin was all of them.'

Reg Spiers comes home
In 1964, one of Australia’s leading javelin throwers, Reg Spiers, was training in England when he failed to make the Australian Olympic team.
Things got worse when his wallet was stolen, leaving him completely broke.
He was stuck in England with no way to get home. Reg, however, was an out-of-the-box thinker. Perhaps there was a way to get home that would cost him nothing, it just had never been done before.

A Real-Life Wacky Races: Part Two
The MacRobertson Air Race got underway in spectacular fashion, with a pilot trying to take off but forgetting to release the brake.
Once in the air, things got only more confused, with emergency landings, crashes, and pilots getting arrested by Benito Mussolini’s men.
Soon the first planes would arrive in Australia, and the people of Albury would play a major role in saving one plane from disaster.
