The lizard sent by the gods - Part 2
from In Black and White Hosted by Herald Sun
As the Nazis closed in on the Anzacs on Crete during WWII, Maori captain Rangi Royal glimpsed what he believed was a sign from the Maori god of war. He saw what he thought was a tuatara - a rare lizard-like reptile found only in NZ - pointing its head over a cliff. And so he led his men over the steep drop. Author Craig Collie tells the story in his new book Where The Flaming Hell Are We? Learn more about the book here.
