Joeys Daily Dose of History - 8 October 1939

It's a Sunday. In Europe there's a war going on and in the opal mining town of Lightning Ridge in North-Western NSW a boy is born. He later ends up in Sydney and works on the Harbour (join my morning tour and I'll show you where), before starting his own comedy program on TV in 1973. After 60 episodes he had enough of TV comedy, but not of Aussie Larrikinism and 3 years later he produced and co-starred in Australia's most succesful film to date - Happy Birthday to Crocodile Dundee, aka Paul Hogan!
