David Hunt, an author and broadcaster known for his expertise in Australian history, joins the hosts to dismantle the myth of Captain Cook as the sole 'discoverer' of Australia. They delve into the rich pre-colonial history, exploring Aboriginal heritage and significant archaeological findings like the Mungo Man. The discussion also tackles the humorous misconceptions about Cook’s legacy, the early European exploration before him, and how the diverse narratives shape modern Australian identity. Giant wombats make a cheeky appearance too!
