An Australian Rip Van Winkle by William Hay Pdf

Excerpt from An Australian Rip Van Winkle: And Other Pieces; Being a Sketch-Book After the Style of Washington Irving In some states of Australia - especially in the South - there are those curious survivals to be seen as you thread the wild ranges in motor or coach - the roads that lead nowhere. Many will recognize the phenomenon indicated. There used to be scores of them threading the hills and flats that rise immediately over Encounter Bay. And it is the same to-day; as you flash along the fine valley causeways, you see winding up into the uninhabited bush-land on either side, these tracks of white sand, just wide enough to take a vehicle, and choosing one, you can sometimes trace it with the eye before you are away - ribboning for miles over the silent piney ranges. Of course those neat little roads leading so persistently where by all human conjecture there is nothing and never was anything, of permanent consequence (appearing so startlingly in the boundless scrub like a path in an enchanted shrubbery) have quite a steady romantic interest for youth, and a certain family of children which this story concerned, who sometimes took their pleasure on these high flats over the sea, would often turn their cobby little horses into some specially inviting road to nowhere only to find it breaking off into lesser new ones, or threading unalteringly into the unknown, beyond their courage or the daylight. The charm of these roads may be painted in a paragraph. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Oxford Book of Australian Ghost Stories by Ken Gelder Pdf

Three phantoms wander the desert; a ghostly lover claims his bride at an outback station; a dead man appears beside a blood-red waterhole; a jackaroo witnesses a ghostly struggle; a frightful monster haunts the Nullarbor Plain. This anthology of Australian ghost stories - from the 1850s to the present - draws together a neglected but striking genre of fiction that works to remind those who recently settled this country how unsettled it actually is. New arrivals stumble across empty houses with ghostly occupants; lonely bushmen fantasise about ghostly women; Aborigines tell of bunyips, bugeens and 'living ghosts'; the bush is full of beckoning spectral images; and Death himself is seen prowling the streets. In these stories Australia becomes the 'down-underworld', a place where the departed will inevitably be resurrected in time, and where the dead continue to make their presence felt.
