About this audio guide
This guide to the University of Western Australia in Perth follows a nineteen-thirties agricultural mystery: sheep along the state's south coast were dying on pasture that looked perfectly green, and nobody could explain why. It traces the young UWA science graduate who took a government job chasing the answer, racing an unknown rival scientist on the other side of the country. Listen for what a street just off this campus still commemorates.
