Hello everyone and welcome to the History of England episode 298, the Currets Egg.

Before we start, I have a podcast recommendation for you, Jenny and out the Australian History

of Australia's podcast. Jenny has a style I really enjoy and picks great topics so I

recommend it heartily. And while we're on it, here's Jenny herself to very briefly

Hello History fans, I'm Jenny from the Australian History's podcast where we take a fresh

look at some of the brilliant stories from Australia's past. If you have an interest in Australian

history, you can dip in and out of the topic episodes that interest you and learn a little

from iron clad bush rangers, British convicts and intrepid explorers to the beloved platter

boss or the mighty EMU, fond of the construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the massive Dingo

spelled with IES. Cheers everyone.
