The Nullarbor barred bandicoot (Perameles papillon) was identified as a new species in 2018, despite being extinct for nearly a century. Until recently, all scientists had of the bandicoots were a handful of museum specimens and one black and white glass slide. Now two photographs of the species have been discovered at the University of Melbourne, revealing details about how the animals looked when they were alive. 

As far as well-known Australian UFO cases go, a 1988 report of an encounter in a desolate area known as the Nullarbor by the Knowles family, a mother and her three adult sons, is on a lot of lists, including Wikipedia. According to the article headlined “UFO Encounter on Nullarbor Plain Reported” in the January 21, 1988, Canberra Times, the family told police in Ceduna that they were chased by a UFO after watching it chase a truck and a car going in the opposite direction. They reported that it picked up their car, shook it violently, and then put it back down facing the other way with such force that one of the tires was blown. Sergeant Fred Longley of the Ceduna Police is quoted as saying “We have to take it seriously, there's no reason why we shouldn't. There were too many witnesses, the car was damaged and was covered in ash from the object and they were clearly shaken up.” While there has been much speculation as to what might have happened (and some doubt as to the validity of the story) there was another instance in Australia in 1971, that not only involved a UFO reportedly picking up a car, but seemingly carrying it for long distances. Read more →Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/podcast-ufo--5922140/support.

The Cleveland Mack Munchers have been iconic amongst the trucking community for many years with Frank Lenzi at the helm for over 45 years. His recent passing led to the closing of the company which was met with tributes flowing for the well respected icon. A number of enthusiasts purchased examples of the old Cleveland fleet including Jarred Sacca, a heavy haulage operator from Mackay in Queensland. Jarred pulled as many strings as he could to get this podcast together with two ex-Cleveland employees, Lance and Arthur, to share some extremely funny memories of their times peddling the Mack Munchers across the Nullarbor.

In this episode of The Proper True Yarn Podcast, Adam Ashley-Cooper shares a wild story about his mate's life going off the rails after catching his wife with another man. After grabbing both car keys and driving across the Nullarbor Plain, things take a surreal turn when his car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. With no one around to help, a mysterious voice—coming from a horse, no less—tells him to check the carburetor. What happens next? You won't believe it. This yarn's a rollercoaster of betrayal, bad decisions, and one very bizarre twist.#propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Στην απομακρυσμένη κοινότητα των Αβοριγίνων της Νότιας Αυστραλίας Yalata, η επαγγελματική απασχόληση αποτελεί πρόκληση. Η κοινότητα βρίσκεται δέκα ώρες βορειοδυτικά της Αδελαΐδας στην άκρη της πεδιάδας Nullarbor. Προσπαθεί να γίνει οικονομικά αυτάρκης με επιχειρήσεις που ανήκουν στην κοινότητα και έχει βρει έναν τρόπο να δημιουργήσει θέσεις εργασίας από χιλιάδες νεκρά δέντρα.

Và họ tuân thủ chặt chẽ đến mức cái cây khô chưa chết hẳn thì họ không chặt. Ở cộng đồng Thổ dân Nam Úc xa xôi Yalata, tìm việc làm là cả một thách thức. Cộng đồng này nằm cách Adelaide mười tiếng lái xe về phía tây bắc trên rìa đồng bằng Nullarbor. Người dân ở đây đang nỗ lực để tự chủ về tài chính với các doanh nghiệp do cộng đồng sở hữu và đã tìm ra cách tạo ra việc làm từ dọn dẹp những cái cây chết trong rừng nơi họ ở.
