10.42am, flies, 38℃ in the shade, and the hangover that killed Elvis.   It took two goes to find where the snake had made it through the fence. Pulling up in the previous night’s vehicle tracks, JJH opened the passenger door of the ute, walked to the side of the tray, leant the shotgun against…

  Hauling on the brakes, causing the dodgy old ute to lurch sideways in an enormous cloud of dust, everything on the tray sliding then crashing into the rear of the cab, the vehicle finally coming to a halt. With the headlights dimming in response to the lower rev’s of the coughing diesel motor, JJH…

This yarn was told to me the other day. Read on.   At the end of the day, his Uncle was a right bastard, which is why NFC (May 1973) and his mate JJH (April 1977) were both waist deep in his house dam, dragging a medium-sized prawn net between them. The dam was that…

  It still amazes me that the sheer horror of Jesus and the resurrection is seemingly overlooked. Yes, it is celebrated, but the absolute blood laden carnage of the event still blows me away, seemingly forgotten. Essentially, Jesus was a Jewish religious and political dissident, betrayed by a suicidal friend, cast out by his people,…

One night when my daughter Bella was 5 or 6, now nearly 15, and I was putting her to bed, she asked me about Jesus, just in time for Easter incidentally. After establishing that he came back after three days post crucifixion, she wanted to know a couple of things about him. All I can remember…

  This is a slightly different blog post this evening; instead of my ramblings, click the video link below, and get a better idea of what ‘The Old York Hospital’ haunted stories are all about. Incidentally, the old hospital is no longer open to the public, and has been boarded up and fenced off. The…

  Headline – ‘Late Night Intruder’ Bill, 86 years of age, resident of Calingiri – New Norcia Road, New Norcia, Western Australia, 6509, was rudely awakened in the early hours of Sunday morning, the 6th of March. Upon waking to “a bloody odd sound, let me tell you!” Bill exited the rear of his house, one of his Great Grandson’s…

Yarrr! It’s Sunday, this afternoon, and totally unplanned, I will be down at the Moora Club, Gardiner St., Moora, from 4:30 with pen, pad, and dictaphone. So, if you’ve got a story, come down, I’ll buy you a beer, and you can bend my ear. To find me, ask the good looking bar staff where…

Coincidence is not something I believe in, even slightly. Yet, there always has to be an exception to the rule that mucks up the perfect little world we all ensconce ourselves within, and that happened today to me. Lined up and waiting to order a coffee this morning, lets say at about 0930, I had…

Is that a jolly jumbuck you’ve got in your tucker bag, or are you just happy to see me? Occasionally, mostly in conversation, people ask me how do I actually write a story? Well, the conundrum I generally find myself in is that answering “it generally starts with cider, and it’s all downhill from there;…

My name is irrelevant, yet I am 40 something years ancient.   War broke me fifteen years ago, and now I am incapable of working.   The people at the end of my street are fighting again. There are at least twenty of them. On reflection there are more likely twenty five men and women yelling and screaming; a stubby has…

    Hey there everyone!   Ok, the social media gremlins have lead me to create a separate FB page, www.facebook.com/tbmonstershere/. The old one is inaccessible, worse, if you had followed my old page, please forward this message to everyone, as I am unable to access my friends list from the old one, and I am…

    Hello there world!   I need reader input regards the yarns I have been posting here for the last few months, specifically what things are you most interested in reading about? What tales do you most want to hear? Is there a particular location or theme you are most fascinated by? So, please,…

  Perenjori, kangaroo dog’s, a couple of beer’s, and is that a gun in your hand or are you just happy to see me?   Read on!   BOWGADA TRAGEDY. DISPUTE OVER DOG, SEQUEL TO BEER PARTY.   Murder Finding at Inquest. PERENJORI, Feb. 16— A finding of murder was recorded against the clearing contractor…

  This is the last in the line of posts relating to the accident and subsequent disaster that befell five men roughly 100 km’s east of Ballidu in Western Australia. It occurred roughly a couple of years after the end of the Great War. For those that haven’t read the previous three posts building up…

  Hello everyone!   I have been fairly tied up of late, so my apologies to all for the lack of stories in the last few days. Theoretically, that will either be rectified tomorrow or some time over the weekend.   Now, I need more stories, stories involving heinous bloody murder! Villains, thieves, rouges and…
