Wouldn't Read About It
Where Is Harold Holt?
In Portsea Victoria on December 17 1967, what was supposed to be a run of the mill summertime swim with family friends became an international news story that is still surrounded by massive question marks 59 years later.
Then Prime Minister of Australia Harold Holt was a boisterous and charismatic leader of the country, known and loved for his Aussie pride and also for his active lifestyle. When it came to swimming in the ocean, many have described him as a man of the sea - so why is it that he disappeared on a routine swim, in a spot he was familiar with? If the ocean was rough, why did he go out? And why were there so few eye witnesses, who's reports were so quickly confirmed and believed?
And most importantly - what really happened to Harold Holt? (and why is there a swimming pool named after him...suss)

After we get to know the boys, we delve into one of Australia's greatest unknown billionaires - Zeljko Ranogajec.Zeljko Ranogajec wasn't a typical 19 year old - while most uni starters were interested in probabilities of finding the cheapest pub to drink at and the most exciting stories to tell the next morning, Zeljko was running probabilities in his head of how to beat the system that was providing cheap thrills - the casino and eventually, the entire concept of gambling.This is an incredible and equally mysterious story of how a 19 year old with $200 in his pocket created one of the world's largest gambling syndicates, a $1billion+ net worth and an answer to the question - can you beat the system?Follow us on socials for more!Instagram: @wouldntreadaboutitpodFacebook: Wouldn't Read About ItTikTok: @wouldntreadaboutitpod

26. Clare Wibson - The Pilliga Princess Yarn
45:05||Ep. 26***For those here purely for the Pilliga Princess story - skip to 5:50. For our regulars, enjoy :)In the late 80s and 90s, Clare Wibson, along with a shopping trolley full of her belongings, roamed the 120km stretch of the Newell Highway running between Coonabarabran and Narrabri in Northwestern NSW.Information on Clare's life prior to this period is scarce at best, and the reason for her presence on the road is a mystery. However, after she was tragically struck down by a southbound truck on the 20th March 1993, many truckers and unknowing travellers alike report seeing the same thing - a woman with blinding white hair pushing a shopping trolley down the highway.The Pilliga Scrub in Northwestern NSW has a long history of mysterious encounters and horrifying spiritual experiences, and maybe none more notorious than Clare's, as she is now known...as the Pilliga Princess.Follow us on socials for more!Instagram: @wouldntreadaboutitpodFacebook: Wouldn't Read About ItTikTok: @wouldntreadaboutitpod
