The emu war is such a hilarious part of history but also I really feel for these soldiers promised easy farming land and 20,000 freaking giant birds rush through their land, eating everything, kicking down fences and kicking the butt of anyone who tries to stop him. Like what the heck do you do, man? Shoot them? Sure, but they take more bullets than people and can run at like 40mph.

@@PeacePills. those paths if you payed attention he went down and got lost was made for the soldiers to hunt the emu on that farmers land back in the day. It indirectly almost got a man killed be it there was a warning sign and he should've used common sense it still tied in. The train was a story that shows you when humans get together we can achieve great things to save a life. Like how the farmer never gave up and continued searching for days even though he was almost certain he was dead he still looked.

[@xanderguyer7512]

To everyone talking about the video format: I totally get it. It seems disjointed and disconnected. However, I don't think these stories were chosen without purpose. I feel like the creator is trying to tie a theme to all of them, to enrich their individual meanings through comparison. I have no idea what that meaning is, however, beyond "Australia". But, I don't think a creator as thorough as him is just throwing stories together on a whim.

That mini-story about the man with the leg trapped in the gap between the train and the platform was strangely inspirational. At a time when the government of the day was pushing through austerity measures and encouraged people to work hard and yet offered no help to those who are struggling, what was a trainload of commuters along with the station staff helped as a group to free the man.
