Maudie, Alice, and the Flower Well Mob: Brief Voices of First Australians, Deserts Apart

This episode has everything: 

A road trip. (Well, on mainly dusty tracks) across three quarters of Australia.

Memorable encounters with remnants of Aboriginal tribes – two of whom were the last speakers of a number of ancient languages. 

The horrifying squalor of a fringe dwellers' camp, and the grief of young parents whose children were taken. 

The endless, almost  bendless Nullabour Railway,

A fascinating interview with an anthropologist – Kato Muir – who is also the descendant of some of the last Aboriginal people to emerge from the desert, into the world of white man.

Ah, but there’s more! And it’s bizarre! In the same spot where the last of the Aboriginal people emerged into the 20th Century, a Japanese terror group would later prepare for their deadly nerve gas attack on a Tokyo subway.

So this episode of Red Dust Tapes stretches you from cultures going back to the  Iast Ice Age, to malevolent use of modern technology.
