This program tells the lesser-known story of Corporal Leslie ‘Bull’ Allen, raised in an orphanage in Ballarat located in regional Victoria. He became a courageous and complex war hero. In World War II, ‘Bull’ Allen was a stretcher bearer in the Australian Army. His photo was famously captured during the battle of Mt Tambu, New Guinea, where Bull repeatedly ran into heavy enemy fire to carry out more than a dozen wounded men. His bravery made him a decorated war hero, and his image still hangs proudly in the Australian War Memorial. Bull’s story displays immense heroism and shows the devastating and long-lasting effects war can have on humans. A lot can be learned from this inspiring war hero, both during his time at war and especially after.

Butterflies charm our eyes with their captivating colours and graceful dance of their fluttering wings. Yet their beauty is fragile, and their lives are fleeting, a brief flowering that embodies the ephemeral nature of the seasons. This delicate beauty has made butterflies the most sought-after and studied of all insects.
In many ancient civilisation’s butterflies were symbols of life, hope, joy, renewal and perfection. They are found in the writings, festivals, and tomb paintings of many ancient cultures, including the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Mayans, Aztecs, and early Europeans. And they continue to mesmerise and delight us today – and not just by their brilliance and beauty – but also by their amazing miracle of metamorphosis, the terrific transformation that happens as caterpillars change into butterflies. What happens inside this chrysalis is one of the great mysteries of the natural world. -

In this program, we consider a topic that is probably confronting for many of us. When you hear the words fats and oils, you immediately think of French fries, potato chips, cheesy pizzas, onion rings, burgers, and doughnuts—foods that taste great and that we like to eat.
Though they are tasty, we are often reminded that they are not good for our health. That’s because they tend to be high in calories, fat, and salt and are called refined carbs. The whole matter of fats and oils can be very confusing and raise some important questions.
If fats and oils are said to be bad for you, why do we need fats and oils in our diet? Are there good and bad fats? What does the term saturated or unsaturated fats mean?
Join Gary as we meet Dr Delia McCabe, a nutritional neuroscientist whose research specialises in how the food we eat affects brain functions. In particular, we are going to look at the important topic of fats and oils: Are they good for us, and what effect do they have on our brains? -

Planet Earth is filled with a dazzling diversity of life, but few animals can compete with the extinct dinosaurs for variety, size, and sheer magnificence.

Some were fierce and had sharp claws and razor teeth, while others were harmless and docile. But how much do we know about these amazing creatures? Why did they die out?
