 Australia. The Antipodes. The gothic dungeon at the bottom of the world. A land of reversals. Where swans are black instead of white. Where colonisers brought their own dark subconscious and had it realised huge and grotesque upon the landscape. This series will examine colonial and post-colonial history to understand where we’ve come from and how this shapes who we are today. How did we get from there to here? And after such bloody beginnings, what spectres still haunt the Australian subconscious? Who are the Ghosts of the Australian Psyche?AntipodesFM Mundial

    Faced with the existential dread that wartime brings, Australians wrote. They wrote journals, letters, postcards, memoirs, memorials, and poems to capture what they were seeing and how they were feeling. In this episode we explore the voices of Australians during the First World War.
