Wouldn't Read About It

#12 - 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?

#10 - Curious, Courageous or Crazy? The Rodney Fox Yarn

Today we delve into the realm of Lottie's favourite animal - the Great White Shark. Rodney Fox was an ordinary South Australian man who loved to go spear fishing. On the 8th of December 1963, Rodney had an encounter with a Great White that needs to be heard to be believed, which subsequently changed the way the world understood the deep sea giants. Rodney's story is a must hear tale of survival and a very peculiar take on a near death experience.
