The 1st human inhabitants of Australia arrived from the north about 40,000 to 60,000 years ago. Over thousands of years they eventually spread across the whole landmass. These Indigenous Australians were long established throughout Western Australia by the time European explorers came in the early 17th century.

Western Australia :
The Emu Wars , aka the Great Emu war
In 1932 to address public concern over the number of emus said to be destroying crops in the Campion district within the Wheatbelt of Western Australia. The unsuccessful attempts to curb the population of emus, a large flightless bird indigenous to Australia, employed Royal Australian Artillery soldiers armed with machine guns , rifles & jeeps 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 & continued to cause crop destruction.
By December 1932, word of the Emu War had spread, reaching the UK. Some conservationists there protested the cull as "extermination of the rare emu".Dominic Serventy & Hubert Whittell, the eminent Australian ornithologists, described the "war" as "an attempt at the mass destruction of the birds".
Throughout 1930s onward, exclusion barrier fencing became a popular means of keeping emus out of agricultural areas (in addition to other vermin, such as dingoes & rabbits).
It lasted from 2 November ,1932 – 10 December, 1932
(1 month, 1 week and 1 day)
Long story short the Emu birds won.

When God was making Australia, he started with the eastern side. After creating all of it's wonders, be couldn't be bothered making the western half, so he put a desert there and filled it with a heap of obnoxious, self-absorbed pricks.
"Would you like to come to Western Australia with me?
"No, I would prefer choke to death, thank you".
