Description
Australia's favourite newsman is back. This time with Legends and Icons - those uniquely Australian stories, people and products. From a tradition of bush medicines to amazing world first medical discoveries. Walden takes us on a journey through Australian history to revive and pay tribute to those whose legacies have helped shape our nation. Serendipity is a happy and unexpected event that often occurs while searching for something else and as Walden shows, often a search for one thing led to amazing accidental Australian inventions. Join him on as he looks at true Australian Legends and Icons.
