Do you know the origins of the word Digger and it's meaning? What about that the Holden car was not an Australian design even though it's widely thought of as Australia's own.

What about the famous railway The Ghan? Where did it get it's name from? That is very interesting story and read about the ridiculously long journeys and numerous trains people had to take to get from South Australia to other parts of the country in those early days. It's amazing anyone would have bothered making the journey.

There's the tale of a man, possibly one of the crew from a known shipwreck who appeared on a Queensland island when someone was living there on his own in the earlier part of the last century. The visitor (ghost, perhaps) was dressed in 17th Century clothing and apparently seemed to float on the beach sand rather than walk and he'd just disappear into the sea. Several photos are included

If I didn't have this book, I'd love to receive this as a fun gift.

It's not necessary to read this as one would usually read novel or biography, you can pick up the stories one by one. There are riddles of lost treasurers, explorers, unexplained phenomena, and yarns of fish, frogs or pebbles falling from the sky. There are unsolved crimes and long-held secret, hidden tunnels and hair-raising tales from the bush and the city.
