WWII Northern Territory Special Reconnaissance Unit Case 12
During World War II, Aboriginal Australians were generally not accepted into the armed forces, the Army, Navy nor Airforce. However, this all changed after Japan entered the war and the government began to fear the security of the Northern Territory. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Soldiers in the north of Australia were recruited. More than 800 signing up to join the uniformed Torres Straight Light Infantry. But there was another group that will be our focus for today. The group was made up of 50 non-uniformed men with incredible tracking skills, who became known as the Northern Territory Special Reconnaissance Unit.

The Plague in Australia, Roses are Black
So, for the final episode of 2020 where we have been living through a pandemic, I wanted to look back at a different pandemic, the bubonic plague, but not the Black Death of the 1300s that you may be thinking of. I want to look into an outbreak that is a little less well known, the time that the bubonic plague came to Australian shores.
This episode is designed to go with a Middle Years unit looking at the Black Death and examining the historical concept of continuity and change.

The actions of Rosa Parks in 1955 were a catalyst for the Montgomery Bus Boycott, and it would be easy to say she was a tired old lady who just needed to sit down whilst riding a bus and that sparked the chain of civil rights events. But there are a few things wrong with that narrative. Find out why Rosa was chosen as the face of the boycott rather than Claudette Colvin.
This episode is designed to go with a Senior Modern History unit on Civil Rights.

Hanoi Hannah and the Women of the Viet Cong
We are so used to the narrative of the Vietnam War being told through a masculine lens; male politicians, sending male soldiers to Vietnam, movies about male soldiers and male historians writing all the textbooks. But there is a group whose perspective we don’t hear from very often, and that is the Vietnamese women who fought for the Viet Cong. Hanoi Hannah and the Perfume River Squad, it is time to hear to hear your stories.

Nuclear Testing in Maralinga Australia
In the early 1950s, the Prime Minister of Australia, Robert Menzies, received a request from the Prime Minister of England, Clement Attlee, requesting if Britain could conduct their nuclear weapons testing in Australia. Without so much as talking to the politicians in his cabinet or requesting any information or reports on the possible health or environmental risks, Menzies said yes, and even committed Australian servicemen to help the British carry out their tests. Thus, began the testing in Monte Bello Islands off the coast of Western Australia, and the 2 sites in South Australia, Emu Field and Maralinga.

Ethics of Archaeology Mungo Man
For a few hundred years, historians had a vague idea of how long Aboriginal people had lived in Australia. Estimations of a few thousand years were generally accepted, but then the discovery of one body, forever changed the way that we thought about Australian history. That body belonged to none other than Mungo Man.
