Episode description

At pubs around the country, people are watching pairs of coins tossed in the air for the classic ANZAC Day tradition of playing two-up. 

In most parts of Australia it’s illegal to play this quintessentially Australian game any day other than ANZAC Day. 

But one pub in Broken Hill – the far west New South Wales mining town near the border South Australia – it's played legally every Friday night. 

So how is it that two-up is legal any time of the year are mid-sized pub in the middle of the outback? 

Ringmaster of two-up at the Palace Hotel in Broken Hill Fisk Nagas joins Bension Siebert to explain.
