Summary

Australian storyteller Henry Lawson tells the tale of an old bushman who lived a solitary life miles from anywhere and would chase down travelers just to swap yarns. The old man had lost his wife, who had died in labor, far from the nearest doctor, but her ghost was a frequent visitor. Music: Stuart King. New Twitter address- @1001podcast Follow Us!
