Three Dames of the Australian Bush
Two States, one Territory. Three isolated women, each with totally different backgrounds and motivations, tell tales about goats and ghosts and tin mines, that go back to early 20th Century Outback Australia.
It was a tremendous pleasure sharing with each of the women in this chapter.
Auntie Kath Nichols, who lived in what was destined to be a ghost town in the northern South Australia with Twiggy Minupus, a kitty Aunty Kath claimed was affected with radiation from atomic tests to the west.
Maud Close, with stories of working in tin mines with the Chinese in 1907, the Top End railway, and the bombing of Darwin.
And The Goat Lady of Bulong, Hilda Jarvis, living with hundreds of goats in Western Australia in what, without her, would be another ghost town.
00:50 - Aunty Kath with ghosts and other mysteries in Beltana, South Australia. Hilda Jarvis with goats in the WA Goldfields. And Maud Close, a story teller of the Bush, near Darwin.
