A race where two teams start from opposite ends of a 25 yard pool, and try to catch the other team. A team wins when they have successfully caught up to the opposing team. This form of relay is grueling and generally takes a while.

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.

Tasmania Australia :
Tasmania's main island was inhabited by Aboriginal peoples for up to 40,000 years before British colonization. The island was permanently settled by Europeans in 1803 as a penal settlement of the British Empire.
The Black War was a period of violent conflict between British colonists & Aboriginal Tasmanians in Tasmania from the mid-1820s to 1832. The conflict, fought largely as a guerrilla war by both sides, claimed the lives of 600 to 900 Aboriginal people & more than 200 British colonists.
The Port Arthur massacre was a mass shooting that occurred on 28 April 1996 at Port Arthur, a tourist town in the Australian state of Tasmania. The perpetrator, Martin Bryant, killed 35 people & wounded 23 others, the worst massacre in modern Australian history. The attack led to fundamental changes in Australia's gun laws.
(Prior to this / before this happened )
After quitting a national gun summit in 1987, 8 years before the massacre & following 2 mass shootings in Melbourne earlier in 1995, Premier of New South Wales Barrie Unsworth said: "it will take a massacre in Tasmania before we get gun reform in Australia", referencing Tasmania's resistance to gun law changes. A redesign of the laws for all states & territories of Australia had been prepared by officers & presented at a meeting of police ministers in Launceston in 1995. It had been rejected by Tasmania.
