Buckshot Bear Posted June 14 Author Posted June 14 In 1932, the Australian government accidentally started a war against emus. Not a metaphor. Actual emus. After World War I, many soldiers were given farmland in rural Western Australia. A few years later, around 20,000 emus migrated through the area looking for food. They charged through fences, ate crops, and generally behaved like giant feathered bulldozers. The farmers complained, so the government sent soldiers armed with machine guns. The plan sounded simple: Army: "We'll shoot the emus." Emus: "Good luck, mate." The soldiers found that emus were surprisingly difficult targets. The birds scattered, ran at speeds up to 50 km/h, changed direction unpredictably, and seemed to have scouts warning the others. One officer reportedly described them as having military-style tactics. At one point, the soldiers mounted a machine gun on a truck to chase the emus. The truck bounced so violently over rough ground that nobody could aim properly. Meanwhile the emus simply ran away. After thousands of rounds of ammunition, the emu population remained very healthy. Eventually the operation was abandoned. The unofficial result: Australia: 0 Emus: 20,000 To this day Australians joke that the nation lost a war against large flightless birds. 1 3 Quote

Buckshot Bear Posted June 15 Author Posted June 15 ‘FORREST RAILWAY STATION’ Across Australia. An average of 60 trains per week pass through Forrest along the trans-line, the Indian Pacific four times per week, and several freight trains each day. The trains can be a maximum of 1.8km long and may stop at the Forrest siding to allow another train to pass. Forrest is a former small railway settlement and stopping place on the Nullarbor Plain, 85 kilometres (53 miles) west of the Western Australia / South Australia state border, established in 1916 during construction of the Trans-Australian Railway. It is on the part of the railway that is the longest – at 478.193 kilometres (297.135 miles) – stretch of straight railway line in the world 3 1 Quote
