The Batavia - 1600's Survival

The Batavia - 1600's Survival

If you think surviving a modern shipwreck would be tough, imagine facing one in 1629...No GPS. No rescue flares. No hope from the sky. This is the chilling yarn of the Batavia, a wealthy Dutch flagship that smashed into a remote reef off Western Australia. But the shipwreck wasn’t the disaster. What happened next on the tiny, sun-baked island was far worse. This is a gripping 400-year-old tale of absolute power, desperate survival, rogue mutiny, and ultimate justice. Strap yourselves in.

Would You Pick Up A Hitchhiker?

Off the back of the incredible Ricky Megee yarn, we kick off this episode with a story sent in about an incredibly lucky close encounter and 'could have been' the first victim of Australia's most notorious serial killer. We then get into the life and times of Lottie and her...let's say 'young and dumb' experience picking up a hitchhiker, which will have you shaking your head in disbelief.

Why Did Ricky Megee Really Go Missing?

After a quick anecdote about the history of Chinese restaurants in regional Australia and Lottie's disgust for the movie 'Dude, Where's My Car?', we delve into the mystery shrouded story of Ricky Megee. In 2006, Ricky was found in "one of the most isolated parts of Australia" - the Birrindudu Cattle Station (500km southwest of Katherine) sheltering under a water trough, with the appearance of a skeleton. After receiving treatment at the Royal Darwin Hospital, Ricky's recount of how he ended up is a yarn that put's Tom Hanks' 'Castaway' to shame, but due to his colourful past, one question remains - do you believe him?
