The Emu War, also known as the Great Emu War, was a nuisance wildlife management military operation undertaken in Australia over the later part of 1932 to address public concern over the number of emus said to be running amok and destroying crops in the Campion district within the Wheatbelt of Western Australia.
The unsuccessful attempts to curb the population of emus, employed Royal Australian Artillery soldiers armed with Lewis guns—leading the media to adopt the name "Emu War" when referring to the incident.
While a number of the birds were killed, the emu population persisted and continued to cause crop destruction. Shortly after the first attempt, a second cull was commissioned, which proved just as successful as the first attempt. Our slot takes on the narrative from the Emus perspective as we search for a 3rd and final victory!
