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.

checkers/rally's - Checkers Drive-In Restaurants, Inc. is a chain of double drive-thru restaurants in the United States. The company operates Checkers and Rally's restaurants in 28 states, and the District of Columbia. They specialize in hamburgers, hot dogs, french fries, and milkshakes.
Way better than McDonald's imo but on par with
Burger king & wendy's.
Originally separate companies serving different geographic areas (with Checkers serving the Southeast and Rally's serving the Midwest), Checkers and Rally's merged in August 1999.
the Checkers name remains used in the Southeast as well as the Northeast while the Rally's name remains used in the Midwest as well as California; the two brands have overlap in several areas. Kinda like how burger king in Australia
Is called Hungry Jack's.
Personally I recommend the Big Buford or Baconzilla
Burgers.... be prepared for grease as they have greasy food.
Also their garlic parmesan chicken wings and they are open
Until late hours like 1 am - 3am .

Red wolf beer was a discontinued beer made by
Anheuser-Busch not to be confused with red dog beer .
13.5 ABV .
Like many red beers, this beer pours an amber-reddish color that is beautiful to look at. As typical with lagers, this color is effervescent & what we like to describe as amazingly clear. A head of white foam appears as soon as the beer is poured, and the head retention is quite commendable. The head dissolves, leaving a very obvious lacing that forms every time you take a gulp.
There’s clearly moderate carbonation as it is hard to miss the tiny bubbles floating through the beer glass. Without a doubt, this lager has a unique color. Most beer drinkers would agree that red lagers are perhaps one of the most aesthetic beers ever.The aroma of this beer is predominantly malty alongside a grainy note that suggests that corn is part of it. You can also perceive a hoppiness, although the note is relatively light.
An earthy or herbal smell reminds one of straw, grass, and what seems to be pine. There’s also a sour scent similar to what you’d perceive from rotten fruit.
It was possible made to rival company Miller Brewing Company and their red dog beer .
It sold very poorly and Anheuser-Busch gave it the
Axe in the late 1990s early 2000s

Red wolf beer Overall, the taste is what you’d describe as watery, although it isn’t a bad beer to drink. It is smooth and leaves a clean, dry finish.
This beer almost lacks any discernible flavor profile. However, you can detect what may be a hop flavor upon closer inspection. There’s also a grainy, malt-like flavor that appears heavily muted. You can also detect a sulfur-like flavor from the alcohol in the lager.
You can pair this lager with spicy Asian, Italian, Mexican, and other intercontinental cuisines. You can also pair it with popcorn, burgers, steak, burger, and pizza.
Red Wolf. A red ale marketed during the 1990s in the United States. It was enjoyed by some consumers, but neither as well known nor as popular as other Anheuser-Busch brands. Discontinued circa . 2000 , This beer is no longer being produced by the brewery.
