In this special live recording of Hey History! host Axel Clark asks historians Clare Wright, Anna Clark and Kiera Lindsay what historical objects can tell us about the past? What can a piece of ochre tell us about Australia&rsquo;s Deep Time History? Can an old gold pan help us to hear the past? And what about a pair of South Australian pink shorts? We ask kids what objects are special to them, and play guessing games with objects - including one that's in the Guinness Book of World Records! This episode of Hey History! was recorded on Kaurna Country for the <a href="https://www.adelaidefestival.com.au/adelaide-writers-week/schools-day/">2025 Schools Day of Adelaide Writers Week</a>.&nbsp; Many thanks to Adelaide Festival, especially Suzanne Critchley, and Tahlia Greco.
