In 1932, the Western Australian government declared war on the emus that were damaging crops in the region. Armed with machine guns, the military was tasked with culling the emu population. However, the emus proved to be formidable opponents, and the military's efforts were ultimately unsuccessful.

Join Holly and Matthew as they explore the background and context of the emu problem, the military's response, and the aftermath of the failed cull.
