About the episode

"The Blunney" had it's very early beginnings in the mid 1800's with John Blundstone's arrival in Hobart Tasmania after a 93-day sea voyage from England. Boot making started around the 1870's and by 1894 at the Hobart International Exhibition the Blundstone boot was described as "second to none".      See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
