Summarizing the culls, ornithologist Dominic Serventy commented: "The machine-gunners' dreams of point blank fire into serried masses of Emus were soon dissipated. The Emu command had evidently ordered guerrilla tactics, and its unwieldy army soon split up into innumerable small units that made use of the military equipment uneconomic. A crestfallen field force therefore withdrew from the combat area after about a month.[11] ” On 8 November, representatives in the Australian House of Representatives discussed the operation.[6] Following the negative coverage of the events in the local media,[12] which included claims that "only a few" emus had died,[4] Pearce withdrew the military personnel and the guns on 8 November.[4][6][13][14] After the withdrawal, Major Meredith compared the emus to Zulus, and commented on the striking maneuverability of the emus, even while badly wounded. "If we had a military division with the bullet-carrying capacity of these birds it would face any army in the world...They can face machine guns with the invulnerability of tanks. They are like Zulus whom even dum-dum bullets could not stop.[15]"

That emu cull happened in the Wheatbelt a few hundreds kilometres from where I live. Emus may be tough but they're also annoyingly stupid creatures. When startled they will always run in the direction with the least resistance, so if you startle one on a road with your car they just run down the road ahead of your car for miles and miles.

Today was also the anniversary of the famous charge of the Australian Light Horsemen at Beersheba, Palestine in 1917: Battle of Beersheba (1917)
We Australians like to refer to it as history's last great cavalry charge but the Light Horse Regiments were really mounted infantry. Still, it must have scared the hell out of the Ottoman Turks, seeing hundreds of Aussie horsemen charging at them with their foot-long bayonets in their hands like swords.
