Outstanding luck that the Japanese invasion scouts in WW2 landed in York Sound WA, possibly the most remote and most inaccessible coastline in Australia. Landing parties only lasted a few hours. All rocks and Spinifex, you can't even walk. It put them off landing entirely.

The Kangaroo Dog is the most vital forgotten piece of the colonial era. Roos had practice killing dingos so a special breed was produced from Greyhounds x Scottish Deerhounds which could take them down. Colonisation wouldnt have happened without them as early crops failed.
