Pack of 4 Australian Tales written by Rick Tomkies
CANNIBALS GOLD - This bestselling 195-page novel set in the 1870s on North Queensland’s Cape York goldfields is woven around many actual events of the day. It tells the story of two gold miners who hit upon a novel, albeit somewhat illegal, method of obtaining the precious yellow metal while evading capture by cannibalistic natives or arrest by local police to eventually amass a small fortune in gold, with tragedy and romance awaiting them.
THE GHOST OF CAPE YORK - This popular illustrated book, of some 86 pages, is a novel based on a persistent rumor widely circulating around Northern Queensland some years’ ago, of a World War Two Japanese fighter aircraft found intact above the high-water mark off a Far Northern beach on Australia’s Cape York. According to information received by the Author a few years ago, the aircraft did exist and was removed and placed in a southern museum, although this has not been substantiated.
CAPTURED - Here’s a popular book of 111 pages, that has also captured the interest of Tv and movie producers both in Australia and in the USA. Based on a true story of the crew and their skipper of a small 29-ton schooner, ‘The Nightingale’, bound from Sydney to Bowen, Queensland, Australia. The small ship encountered a tropical cyclone and was grounded and dismasted off a small island on the Whitsunday coast in February 1864. The crew eventually made it to the mainland in a small boat where they were captured by a wild tribe of Aborigines. The men were enslaved for a period of time and eventually escaped to tell of their experiences, but not before their captain died of spear injuries.
AUSSIE OUTBACK YARNS - A small, popular book of some 91 pages is in its Second Edition of ‘campfire stories’, gathered from various parts of Outback Australia. These short stories are all either true or based on fact as told to the Author during his travels around the wide Outback. Recorded for their humorous or unusual content these yarns, some of which the Author has had first-hand experience, will undoubtedly keep the reader entertained throughout.
