    Growing up in Western Australia, we were never taught about the Great Emu War in school. I can only think it's because now, in more enlightened times, the barbaric treatment of half of Australia's coat of arms, we are ashamed of the slaughter. To honour the tragic deaths of those innocent birds, many of us now wear lovely feather hats. 😆

    @drkinferno72 Рік тому +216

    What I remember about the rise of the Emu Empire is… is how quiet it was. During the waning hours of the Emu Wars, the Emu Legion was discreetly transferred back to Sydney. It was a silent trip; we all knew what was about to happen, what we were about to do. Did we have any doubts? Any private traitorous thoughts? Perhaps, but no one said a word. Not on the flight to Sydney, not when Order 66 came down, and not when we marched into the Sydney Opera House. Not a word."
