In the first story, the women of the city promise a magic man many things in order to have children. One woman over promises and has to think quick to get out of it. In the second story, the king Oranyan/Oranmiyan has to go away, but when he is thought to be dead, his son must choose what to do. And in the third story we learn about the elephant’s long nose.

Podcast Shoutout: The Australian Histories Podcast aims to take a fresh look at some of the brilliant stories from Australia’s past.

What I hope to share with you here, is both an overview of various interesting episodes in Australian History, as well as some humour, interest and perhaps even a new perspective from those in your high school history textbooks!
