Aussie sunshine, beer, women, and beaches have no place in these fun tall tales of mythical creatures, Aboriginal myths, and Aussie legends.
All tall story lovers that enjoy a good yarn will love this series of extremely exaggerated short stories by imaginative storyteller R.e.Taylor, with a warning to all tourists expecting to cuddle a koala and pet a kangaroo. Now, there are no man-eating crocodiles in this book or even man-eating sharks, but, mate, there sure are some weird legendary animals: drop bears, yowies, cassowaries, marsupial tigers, bunyips, and winged vampires slinking around the Australian bushland, just waiting the chance to give the sharks and crocodiles a run for their money.
This compilation of exciting yarns also includes historical shipwrecks, Min Min lights, black opals, killer crows, hidden caves and the foreboding Black Mountains. So beware, this is no serene blue waters, the sunshine and tropical beaches of the Land Down Under.
It's a creative collection of somewhat true blue Aussie yarns that will have you thinking, "Well, by crikey, those Aussie crocs, they aren't so bad after all!" So, folks, if you want something different, this is a real fun ride of very tall yarns, as well as some treasured Aboriginal myths and great Australian legends.
