Western Australia :
The Emu Wars , aka the Great Emu war
In 1932 to address public concern over the number of emus said to be destroying crops in the Campion district within the Wheatbelt of Western Australia. The unsuccessful attempts to curb the population of emus, a large flightless bird indigenous to Australia, employed Royal Australian Artillery soldiers armed with machine guns , rifles & jeeps leading the media to adopt the name "Emu War" when referring to the incident. While a number of the birds were killed, the emu population persisted & continued to cause crop destruction.
By December 1932, word of the Emu War had spread, reaching the UK. Some conservationists there protested the cull as "extermination of the rare emu".Dominic Serventy & Hubert Whittell, the eminent Australian ornithologists, described the "war" as "an attempt at the mass destruction of the birds".
Throughout 1930s onward, exclusion barrier fencing became a popular means of keeping emus out of agricultural areas (in addition to other vermin, such as dingoes & rabbits).
It lasted from 2 November ,1932 – 10 December, 1932
(1 month, 1 week and 1 day)
Long story short the Emu birds won.

When God was making Australia, he started with the eastern side. After creating all of it's wonders, be couldn't be bothered making the western half, so he put a desert there and filled it with a heap of obnoxious, self-absorbed pricks.
"Would you like to come to Western Australia with me?
"No, I would prefer choke to death, thank you".

Western Australia, australia's version of a cowboy state. They want Independence, but also want access to all of the Commonwealth's funds. Complete Independence means just that. Better learn how to speak South African.
Western australia. They want to be 'free,' from the Commonwealth of Australia. South Africa will welcome them as their new province.
