Project Summary
The Great Emu War is set in Western Australia in 1932. When farmers complain that flocks of emu are eating their crops and wreaking havoc, they turn to the Australian government, which sends heavily-armed divisions of the army to wipe out the bird. But the flightless fowl prove too clever for the military which, after several humiliating skirmishes, declares defeat.
