15 July - 1968 - The Lady Reappears

REPEAT: On this day in 1968, geologist Jim Bowler found the bones of an Aboriginal woman who'd died and been ritually cremated and buried more than 40,000 years ago. Mungo Lady — as she became known — and Jim's next discovery — known as Mungo Man — rewrote our history books. More than half a lifetime later, Jim Bowler joins us to recall those discoveries, how they changed our understanding of Australia and their ongoing relevance. Hosted on Acast.
