Explore the fascinating world of Australian folklore with "Australian Urban Legends," a captivating collection that will guide you through strange, scary, and funny stories that have influenced Australia's culture.
Are you ready to find out if Harold Holt really died? Or did the bunyip really exist? What about the mysterious panthers that are said to be wandering the outskirts of Sydney, or the secret morgue that is hidden under the streets of Melbourne? This book reveals nearly two hundred myths, misconceptions, and lies about real people and places in Australia.
Once you start reading these pages, you'll enter a world where reality and imagination mix in an enjoyable way. You will find stories that slander Captain Cook and Phar Lap, tales that will upset the Wiggles and David Boon, and legends that show which well-known Australian is said to now live as a ghost.
Why is this book worth reading? These aren't just stories—they are a key part of Australia's identity. These are the stories told over drinks at the pub, shared by campfires, and handed down through the years. They are the stories we all recognize as silly, but we still enjoy sharing them.
