Episode 35 – Relic Down Under: The Mystery of the Min Min Lights

Relic Down Under, , , , , , ,

We’re back, folks! Sarah from Good Nightmare joins me on the first of several mid-season episodes on Australian mysteries. Strange lights in the outback have been reported since before the arrival of white settlers. Are the Min Min Lights a natural phenomena, or something paranormal?

While you wait for Relic to come back, you can hear me Thursdays on Sydney’s community radio station 2ser 107.3 where I produce and co-produce the segments: Vegemite Pizza and Five-Minute Mysteries.

Episode 5 – The Ballad of Lasseter’s Gold

Episodes, , , , ,

In 1931, a gentleman named Harold Bell Lasseter informed the Australian Worker’s union that he’d discovered a seven-miles-long vein of gold in the outback. An expedition was mounted to survey what was possibly one of the largest gold finds in history. But after the quest ended in disaster, the truth behind Lasseter’s Reef remains questionable. Who was Harold Lasseter? Did his reef exist?

Australia experiences forest fires during its spring and summer. Please consider donating to the charities found in the description of this episode.
