The Disappearance of Graeme Thorne

Sydney, July 1960. Eight-year-old Graeme Thorne disappears while waiting for a lift to school in Bondi. His family are ordinary — a travelling salesman, his wife, and their two children, living in a rented duplex. Three weeks earlier, however, Bazil Thorne had won £100,000 in the Opera House Lottery — and the media published their names and home address. Hosted on Acast.

Bushranger Book One: Black Caesar

Before Australia had roads, towns, or a stable food supply, the colony was already producing its first outcasts. In a settlement governed by hunger and discipline, one transported convict—known to history as Black Caesar—crossed the line between containment and survival. Unknowingly, he set in motion the earliest form of bushranging, before it had a name and before the colony knew how to respond to it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Beaconsfield Mine Collapse

During Australia’s gold-rush era, miners were drawn not just to rivers and fields, but to deep quartz reefs locked inside hard rock. At Beaconsfield in northern Tasmania, that discovery led to a mine that would operate, in different forms, for more than a century. In April 2006, a seismic event underground interrupted that long history, turning routine work into an uncertain crisis beneath the surface. Hosted on Acast.

The Emu War

In the sun-scorched expanse of Western Australia’s Wheatbelt, late 1932 brought more than just drought and economic hardship—it brought an invader unlike any other. Not soldiers, not bandits, but a battalion of emus: towering, flightless birds with long legs that could outrun a man and a stubbornness that made them the unlikeliest adversaries in the annals of warfare.

The Backpacker Murders, Part One

For decades, the road between Sydney and Melbourne has been a trusted passage — a route taken by families, freight drivers, and young travellers chasing work or experience. In the late 1980s, hitchhiking along this corridor is common and unremarkable. But when multiple travellers vanish without witnesses, a forest just off the highway begins to emerge as something more than a place on the map. Hosted on Acast.

The Batavia Shipwreck

In 1629, the Dutch East India Company ship Batavia wrecked on the treacherous reefs of the Houtman Abrolhos, off the coast of Western Australia.
