In the year 1885, a majestic late-Victorian manor was built by pioneer Christopher Crawley in Junee, New South Wales. Perched dramatically on a hillside overlooking the town, the property harbours a dark legacy of family tragedies, including the deaths of Crawley in 1910 and his wife Elizabeth in 1933, followed by years of neglect before its 1963 restoration. We delve deeply into the paranormal activity reported at the site—apparitions, unexplained sounds, and ghostly encounters, leaving us to discuss the question - do you believe in ghosts?

You may have been through Mawson, the suburb of Canberra, gazed upon Mount Mawson in TAS or maybe even driven down Douglas Mawson Drive in Dubbo NSW (to name a few). But what you may not know is the incredible yarn of Sir Douglas Mawson and his expedition to Antarctica in 1912-13, and why he has his name honoured in so much Australian culture.

Pre WW1, Mawson and a small crew set out on an expedition across the treacherous icy wasteland of Antarctica for a scientific research mission. After a relatively pleasant start the trip quickly took a turn in what would become one of the most hectic stories of mental fortitude and survival you'll ever hear, despite all the luck falling against the odds of making it out of the unexplored land alive. We hope you enjoy this one!

If you think surviving a modern shipwreck would be tough, imagine facing one in 1629...No GPS. No rescue flares. No hope from the sky. This is the chilling yarn of the Batavia, a wealthy Dutch flagship that smashed into a remote reef off Western Australia. But the shipwreck wasn’t the disaster. What happened next on the tiny, sun-baked island was far worse. This is a gripping 400-year-old tale of absolute power, desperate survival, rogue mutiny, and ultimate justice. Strap yourselves in.

Off the back of the incredible Ricky Megee yarn, we kick off this episode with a story sent in about an incredibly lucky close encounter and 'could have been' the first victim of Australia's most notorious serial killer. We then get into the life and times of Lottie and her...let's say 'young and dumb' experience picking up a hitchhiker, which will have you shaking your head in disbelief.
