Satanists in Perth. Panthers in Sydney. Inner Melbourne's secret morgue.
Australia is stuffed full of stories that need to be taken with a big spoon of
salt. Stories that we all know are silly, but that we also just can't help
sharing. In Great Australian Urban Legends , Eamon Evans presents you with
myths, misconceptions and bare-faced lies about real people and real places down
under. These pages libel Captain Cook and slander Phar Lap. They will annoy the
Wiggles and David Boon. They will reveal whether Harold Holt really died, if the
bunyip ever lived, and which famous Australian now gets by as a ghost.
