I’m in Sydney for the day, ran to the State Library of NSW and saw the Endeavour journals of Joseph Banks among other pieces from Cook, Solander, Banks and other men of the voyages.
Absolutely delighted, completely beside myself and wanted to share with someone. I had the room to myself, such a dream!
Take yourself back to the episodes on Captain Cook for Tom and Dominic’s bants.
Have you named your child or pet after something/someone historical?
I grew up on a farm, through cows, chickens and other animals here’s a current list of my many animal names. Some are over 10 years old.
I’d be interested to hear any names special to you.

Hello friends, relatively new listener here.
I’m a voracious consumer of history podcasts but notice I may be in the minority when it comes to listening.
I fixate on topics of personal interest and ignore episodes/series on subjects I’m not interested in. (though of course Tom and Dominic are extremely engaging, entertaining and thoroughly well researched)
So, do you dear fellow listeners, methodically go through the episodes and not miss one, or do you (maybe ashamedly like me) only take in what interests you?
I’m Australian and from a small country area, I went to a tiny school and often found myself reading history books alone in the library growing up. It’s been my first and greatest love but I’ve often felt alone in the extreme joy it brings me. I’m so glad to share it with you, thanks for not making me feel so alone.
Went to pay for a drink today and found all my accounts restricted. Asks for identity confirmation. Wants a photo of my licence or passport in the Westpac App.
When I attempt to call for help within the app the numbers are a 1300 number with
1300 490 133,,150407963
1300 491 768,,750216118
I tried calling Westpac’s normal number 132 032 but cannot be put through to a human, no matter how many times I ask.
My parents are advising me not to upload the photo but I don’t know what else to do. I can see my money but cannot access anything. I work very long hours and can’t get into a branch, and these numbers aren’t working. The chat bot also directs me to call.
Is anyone aware of this being a scam, or is this a legitimate request?
I have not received emails, calls, texts or other links to input this information. I changed my banking password on desktop last night (due to forgotten password), so maybe this is why?
I have no cash, no help and I’m extremely afraid.
I will upload the photo if that will fix it, I just don’t want my savings stolen if it’s fake.
Sorry for the stupid question. I’m very anxious.
Update: trusted your advice and it was similar advanced biometric verification as passport stuff. I’ve regained access. Thank you all for your help.
