Send us Fan MailAustralia has its share of quiet superstitions — some playful, some taken seriously, and others woven so casually into life that we barely notice them.In this episode, I explore a range of Australian beliefs and traditions, from sporting rituals and everyday habits to older folklore that still lingers in the background of national imagination.We’ll look at:• Sporting superstitions, especially around cricket • Folklore figures like the Bunyip and how they entered the cultural story • Everyday sayings and habits that carry a superstitious edge • And how these beliefs reflect history, landscape, and identitySome are light-hearted. Some are rooted in older traditions. All of them reveal something about how Australians relate to luck, risk, and the unknown.It’s less about proving whether they’re “real,” and more about understanding why they persist — and what they say about the culture that keeps them alive.====================Support the podcast:☕ Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/fromdownundertodownsouth🌏 Website: https://fromdownundertodownsouth.com📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FromDownUndertoDownSouth📷 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100068568677919🐦 X: https://x.com/aussiemika74📩 Business enquiries & collaborations: [email protected] for listening.Hoo roo maties.Support the showCheck out additional content on our YouTube page!https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjipgN51kc8swHyKeSx2tzw
