In Black and WhiteThe lizard sent by the gods - Part 2
As the Nazis closed in on the Anzacs on Crete during WWII, Maori captain Rangi Royal glimpsed what he believed was a sign from the Maori god of war. He saw what he thought was a tuatara - a rare lizard-like reptile found only in NZ - pointing its head over a cliff. And so he led his men over the steep drop.
Author Craig Collie tells the story in his new book Where The Flaming Hell Are We?
