From WiFi to Google Maps, the black box to the bionic ear, this Shortcut uncovers the Aussie inventions that have changed the way the world works. Amanda and Bryce trace the real stories behind lifesaving pacemakers, antibiotics, ultrasound, spray-on skin and even a vaccine that stops cancer. They meet the scientists who made them possible, explore how a search for black holes led to WiFi, and discover why Australians, from Indigenous innovators to early settlers to today. Aussies have such a long history of clever problem-solving. A fascinating look at the ideas and inventors that put Australian innovation on the global stage.
