The ultimate collection of unbelievable true Australian stories: the unknown, the forgotten, and the surprising, the truly weird and the completely inexplicable. Did you know that in 1932 the Australian army was called out to wage war on an invading army of 20,000 emus? Or that the first royal personage to arrive in Australia was the King of Iceland and he came as a convict? And how about the spooky phenomenon of the mischief-making Guyra Ghost? These tales vividly evoke a vanishing Australia when anything was possible, when characters were larger than life and the bizarre and strange were normal.
