  • 53 - The Toots Holzheimer Yarn

    In the 1960s, when the roads of Cape York were little more than rough dirt tracks, Toots Holzheimer was a pioneer behind the wheel of a truck, travelling unforgiving terrain and some of the most isolated country in Australia


    Standing just five feet tall, Toots was a mother of ten who defied expectations to become one of Australia’s most legendary truck drivers. With no formal training and a fierce determination to succeed, she tackled treacherous creek crossings, endless stretches of bulldust and roads that could leave even the most experienced drivers stranded for days.


    But Toots’ remarkable journey began long before she ever climbed behind the wheel. From a childhood marked by tragedy to a turbulent family life filled with heartbreak and hardship, her story is one of extraordinary resilience, courage and an unwavering refusal to back down.


    It’s a yarn of adventure, adversity and one remarkable Aussie woman who proved that sometimes the most important people in history are the ones you have never heard of.


    This episode was inspired by Toots: Woman in a Man’s World, written by Toots’ daughter, Donna Vawdrey. Get your copy here: https://toots-thebook.com.au/

  • 51 - The Phar Lap Yarn

    From humble beginnings in New Zealand to becoming one of the most legendary racehorses in Australian history, Phar Lap’s story is one of triumph, determination, and mystery.


    Bought for a bargain price and initially dismissed as an awkward, unimpressive horse, Phar Lap would go on to capture the hearts of a nation during the darkest days of the Great Depression. But behind his incredible rise to fame was a story filled with extraordinary victories, enormous gambling fortunes, death threats, and even an assassination attempt.


    This week we tell the unbelievable true story of the horse that became an Australian icon, and the mystery that continues to surround his legend nearly a century later.

  • 49 - The Burke And Wills Yarn

    In 1860, Robert O’Hara Burke and William John Wills set off on one of the most ambitious expeditions in Australian history — to cross the continent from south to north through country largely unknown to Europeans.


    Backed by big money, loaded with supplies and joined by a colourful crew of explorers, horses and camels, the expedition left Melbourne to enormous fanfare. But as they pushed deeper into the Australian interior, impatience, brutal conditions and a string of questionable decisions began to turn the adventure into something far more dangerous.


    It’s a yarn of exploration, survival, bad luck and decisions that would go down in Australian history — the incredible story of Burke and Wills.
