Well, here we are, ready for another round of Haunted Australia. In the past, I’ve covered Victoria (my home) and New South Wales, the site of the first landing when Australia was colonised.

Recently, I went to a movie with my wife and noticed a strange thing. It started with the fidgety guy to my right and fanned out like Wildfire Tommy Rich (obscure wrestling reference) from there.
