Taking out the Trashman

10/12/2021
Debbie Scaling was desperately looking for help. She had been hired to deliver a luxury yacht, Trashman, to its new owner in Fort Lauderdale. The owner of this sleek 58-foot Alden luxury sailing yacht with a pine-green hull and elegant teak trim, had made his millions in the garbage business, hence naming his new yacht- Trashman. The crew delivering his new toy though? Not so well assembled. www.carouselsnipervictim.com Listen to "The Breakdown" here www.patreon.com/carouselsnipervictim

The Flight of the Double Sunrise

3/19/2021
The Double Sunrise service was formed in 1943 to re-establish the Australia–England air link that had been cut due to the fall of Singapore in 1942. The service initially operated from its base in Nedlands, Western Australia near Perth, to the Royal Air Force base at Lake Koggala near Galle in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). It was later extended to Karachi in India (now part of Pakistan), which was the terminus for the British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) service from England. The name of the service was derived from the crew and passengers observing two sunrises on each flight. www.carouselsnipervictim.com Listen to "The Breakdown" here www.patreon.com/carouselsnipervictim

Loki 7 | Roger Charles Bell

1/22/2021
The blast blew out windows and sent metal fragments flying, ripping through walls and wooden beams inside the Prince Edward Island courthouse, shattering the stillness of a fall Monday morning. It was Oct. 10, 1988, just after 6 a.m. The homemade pipe bomb had been hidden in a flower bed at the rear of the building. The force was so powerful it drove some pieces of metal into the judges’ chambers on the second floor. In such a comfortably rural society, where crime is largely an abstraction and the people are suspicious of mainland influences, something like Loki 7 was a homegrown horror. www.carouselsnipervictim.com Listen to "The Breakdown" here www.patreon.com/carouselsnipervictim

The Disappearance of Harold Holt

1/1/2021
On 17 December 1967, Harold Holt, the Prime Minister of Australia, disappeared while swimming in the sea near Portsea, Victoria. An enormous search operation was mounted in and around Cheviot Beach, but his body was never recovered. Holt was presumed to have died, and his memorial service five days later was attended by many world leaders. It is generally agreed that his disappearance was a simple case of an accidental drowning, but a number of conspiracy theories surfaced, most famously the suggestion that he had been collected by a Chinese submarine. www.carouselsnipervictim.com Listen to "The Breakdown" here www.patreon.com/carouselsnipervictim

The Sydney Mini-Sub Attack

11/18/2020
Now, just because Australia was never successfully invaded during WWII, does not mean the plans were not thrown around in a few different war rooms. In early 1942 elements of the Imperial Japanese Navy proposed an invasion of Australia. In the end, the Japanese military adopted a strategy of isolating Australia from the United States by advancing through the South Pacific. This offensive was interrupted and eventually abandoned following the Battle of the Coral Sea and Battle of Midway in May and June 1942, and all subsequent Japanese operations in the vicinity of Australia were undertaken to slow the advance of Allied forces. In Australia however, the government, the military and the people were deeply alarmed after the fall of Singapore to the Japanese in February 1942, now, the biggest wartime port in the region- was Sydney. It is hard to imagine an enemy so audacious that it would simply sail into Sydney Harbour and attack, what was at the time the largest metropolis in Australia. But Sydney Harbour is peppered with the remains of nineteenth-century fortifications built to defend the city against seaborne attacks by Spain, France and Russia. www.carouselsnipervictim.com Listen to "The Breakdown" here www.patreon.com/carouselsnipervictim

Rackman | Horrors at Hawkesbury River

9/5/2020
Inland Australia’s complex system of winding rivers, extensive wetlands, ancient waterholes and seemingly endless parched floodplains are rarely given more than a passing thought by many Australians, understandably so, most Australians live on the coastal fringes. Yet these waterways are a natural attractor along which communities and trade have flourished. Etched into the psyche of regional Australia, these river systems are the pulse of the outback... but the beauty is haunting in more ways than one. The isolation provides ample opportunity to dispose of a body. www.carouselsnipervictim.com Listen to "The Breakdown" here www.patreon.com/carouselsnipervictim

Cannibal Island | Terror at Nazinski Island

7/25/2020
To the Russian officers in Stalin’s politburo, it was named for the local farming village of Nazino, others would refer to it as Nazinski Island, but to the locals the Island had a much more sinister name. A name that speaks for itself when reflecting the horrors that unfolded on that little slice of Russian hellscape. To the locals, it is known simply as- Cannibal Island or the Island of Death. www.carouselsnipervictim.com Listen to "The Breakdown" here www.patreon.com/carouselsnipervictim

The Franklin Expedition | The Search For The Northwest Passage

5/22/2020
The Inuit told of a group of forty men dragging a boat south, they were all very thin and using sign language made it known that their ship had been crushed in the ice, they purchased a seal from the Inuit. Later the same season, the same party were encountered, or at least what remained of them about a day’s walk from the Great Fish River. The men Rae spoke to had not seen the group first hand but were recounting a story told to them by others. The scene described was apocalyptic, there were scattered dead bodies, in tents, under the upturned boat or out in the open. Many of the bodies has been hacked with knives and human remains were reported in cooking pots, they said there were thirty dead in that place, another five dead were found on a nearby island... It was a quest that had consumed some of Europe’s most accomplished mariners for almost four centuries, a generations-spanning obsession that chipped away at the European understanding of North America’s high latitudes, oftentimes at great cost to both vessels and lives. The search for the fabled Northwest Passage. www.carouselsnipervictim.com Listen to "The Breakdown" here www.patreon.com/carouselsnipervictim

Darcy Freeman | A Bridge Over Troubled Waters

WARNING: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS DISTURBING THEMES Over the decades since its construction, countless people have chosen to end their lives at Melbourne's West Gate bridge. Many of those who landed in water, surviving the fall, drowned afterwards. Tragically, this is the fate that met an innocent 4-year-old girl, Darcy Freeman. Obviously, 4-year-old girls aren’t predisposed or statistically likely to commit suicide… Darcy Freeman, was thrown from the West Gate bridge, hurled into the abyss by the one person that should’ve been her ultimate protector, her father. www.carouselsnipervictim.com Listen to "The Breakdown" here www.patreon.com/carouselsnipervictim

Pipes, Pistols And Ponies | C. Y. O'Connor

3/10/2020
Charles Yelverton O'Connor was best known for developing Fremantle Harbour and for the Goldfields Water Supply Scheme (often known simply as the Goldfields Pipeline), it was the latter project that drove him to despair and to eventually take his own life. "I feel that my brain is suffering and I am in great fear of what effect all this worry may have upon me — I have lost control of my thoughts." O'Connor wrote the letter on March 10, 1902, the same day he rode his horse past Fremantle Harbour, south to Robb Jetty, then into the breaking waves of the West Australian coast, where he would take his own life with a single pistol shot. So what drove one of the greatest engineering minds of the young, emerging Australian nation to take his own life? www.carouselsnipervictim.com Listen to "The Breakdown" here www.patreon.com/carouselsnipervictim

Life Under Mugabe | An Interview

2/14/2020
To go along with our upcoming Robert Mugabe timeline episode, I sat down with some of Jack's family friends. Denis Charles Petmezaki, his wife Fay and their daughter Cal, all grew up in- what was at the time Rhodesia- now Zimbabwe. Denis has written a book entitled "So Far And So Good"- tales from the London blitz to the African bush and on to Australia: a life of uncommon adventure. Denis was born in 1931, he is currently 89 years old, the fact that he and his family took time out of their day to sit down and share their experiences was a real pleasure. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed the homemade sausage rolls they provided during the recording! www.carouselsnipervictim.com Listen to "The Breakdown" here www.patreon.com/carouselsnipervictim

Robert Mugabe | The Rise and Fall

2/11/2020
In 1965, the area in Africa then known as Rhodesia — the colonialist name for the region that’s now Zimbabwe — had established a new regime in the wake of British colonial rule. When the country’s white leaders declared its independence late that year, TIME magazine noted that it was “the first nation in history to launch itself into a world all but unanimous in its hostility.” The U.N. also called it an “illegal racist minority regime.” By the time a decade had passed, it was clear to all — except maybe some white Rhodesians who were not willing to accept the inevitable — that the existing government would not last much longer in the face of guerrilla resistance at home and disapproval around the globe. In a desperate attempt to stall the coming change, black activists were routinely jailed. Robert Mugabe was one of these activists… So was he a freedom fighter, political activist, an evil dictator or all of the above? www.carouselsnipervictim.com Listen to "The Breakdown" here www.patreon.com/carouselsnipervictim
