Margo O’Byrne Fenians Festival 2026  The 150th anniversary of the Catalpa escape - Australia’s most daring maritime prison break - is at the heart of the ‘Fenians Festival 2026’, from March 23 to 31. In 1876 the highly-planned escape and rescue resulted in six Irish political prisoners (Fenians) escaping from a convict work detail in Fremantle and making their way to a rendezvous with the Catalpa, an American whaling ship, near Rockingham. The Catalpa had sailed from America on a secret mission to rescue the men; so secret Captain George Anthony couldn’t even let his crew know the ship’s true goal. ‘Fenians Festival 2026’ offers a week of events including Irish music and poetry; international guests; a performance by Theatre 180; history talks, panel discussions and a Family Day.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mat McLachlan Historian Bombing of Darwin (19 February 1942) On 19 February 1942, mainland Australia came under attack by the Japanese. The first air raid on Darwin involved over 260 enemy aircraft. They bombed military bases, the town and the harbour sinking several ships including a US destroyer. Hundreds of people were killed and wounded. During this air attack, an Australian soldier shot down a Japanese Zero (fighter plane), and the plane crash landed on Melville Island where the pilot was the first Japanese soldier taken Prisoner of War by Australia. He was incarcerated in Cowra NSW, and was instrumental in the Cowra Prisoner of War Breakout that occurred in August 1944. The Bombing of Darwin on 19 February 1942 was the first of 64 air raids on Darwin, the last occurring on 12 November 1943. As well as the air attacks on Darwin, throughout 1942 and 1943 there were additional air attacks on northern Australia, including Katherine in the Northern Territory, Townsville and Mossman in Queensland, Horn Island in the Torres Strait and  Wyndham, Port Hedland and Derby in Western Australia. In total, there were 97 air attacks on northern Australia. The first air attack on Darwin was by far the largest. Most raids were carried out with forces of 30 to 40 fighters and bombers, with smaller operations by groups of under a dozen Japanese aircraft. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Zachary Gorman The Menzies Legacy: Ideals, Change, Procession, 1960s and Beyond,  Was Robert Menzies out of step with the swinging 1960s, or did he shape the profound changes that it wrought? Menzies led Australia for over half the decade, finally retiring in 1966 as our oldest prime minister. His reputation for stability and continuity appears opposed to everything we commonly associate with the 1960s. Yet he governed during a dynamic period marked by rising levels of homeownership, university education, opportunities for women, engagement with Asia, instantaneous communications, space exploration, international travel and trade.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
