Episode Synopsis
EPISODE 80 | Fair Dinkum: 4 Mysteries from Down Under
Australia - a land with a checkered past where everything, it seems, wants to kill you (even the magpies). It's the land of the Dreamtime, and vegemite, and Zooper Dooper ice blocks, and shopping trolleys dumped in car parks. It's also a land of mystery and the unexplained. Sometimes.
