Episode 221 - The Burrunjor

There is one common held truth amongst Aussies and that is that Australia is deceptively large. With a menagerie of various ecosystems and habitats, from deserts to rainforests and snowfields, the land reveals new secrets about herself all the time. In fact, the discovery of new animal species is quite frequent (though mostly of the ‘fossil’ or ‘insect’ varieties).

What we don’t see in this country anymore are the wandering beasts of the larger persuasion. Gone are the Diprotodons and Megalania that called this continent home, buried and missing in action for 40,000 years.

Or are they just playing the longest game of hide and seek the world has ever seen?
