A fascinating and irreverent look at odd places that were the unwitting sites for notorious events in Australia's recent history.

Throughout the land there are many unprepossessing, uncelebrated buildings that are associated with famous and infamous people and events. 'History Happened Here' seeks them out and tells the strange-but-true tales behind the ordinary facades.

Find out about Ronald Bigg's hideaway house in Glenelg North, the bungalow where Tony Hancock had his last half-hour, the jail in Darwin from which all prisoners were released once it was bombed by the Japanese in WWII, the site of the Bogle-Chandler New Year's Eve party and much, much more. Each place has been photographed to reveal its full ordinariness.

'History Happened Here' takes a stroll on the peculiar side and the result is a compelling and humorous look at Australian history.
