Folklore of Australia. There’s some really weird stuff in there…
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

Huh? Whatchewmean, weird? 🙂
Oh, I didn’t mean it was any weirder than US folklore. Just stuff I’d never heard before. “Speewah”? As soon as I said the name, Rodd was like, “Crooked Bill”! I obviously need to learn this stuff before I get sworn in. 🙂
Wait. It’s Crooked Mick, isn’t it?
Err, dunno, I’m a visitor here myself. 🙂 (Psssst… I think most of it’s really weird…)
I couldn’t find a page of New Zealand folklore. This is the closest thing. Have Westerners been there long enough to have non-Maori myths?
Dunno – is 170 years long enough? Yes, I suppose we do, but probably that no-one’s thought that it was interesting enough to collect for wikipedia. We’re a very humble modest lot.
