Listen to Spider Crabs, Hulks and Lighters, and Bond, James Bond45:0214 August 2022

Rex Hunter talks about the reuse and recycling of old ships in the Port of Melbourne during the 19th to mid-20th centuries – Rex covers the use of coal hulks and lighters, some of them famous clipper ships like Matthew Flinders’ ‘The Investigator’; Dr Elodie Camprasse, Deakin University, invites us all to come on a science-packed journey to help scientists use footage from time lapse cameras to solve spider crab mysteries, as part of National Science week; and Jeff Maynard continues the ’22 theme of telling diving history using James Bond Movies. Yes, James Bond might have chosen A Good Time to Die in his last film, but he lives on at Radio Marinara as we explore the birth of oceanography with the Roger Moore outing as 007 in ‘Moonraker’. With presenters Bron, Cabin Boy, Rex and Jeff.
