Book excerpt: "Cautiously, step by step, I creep down the small white ladder that leads from a trapdoor hidden beneath a bed in room 92 at Duntroon's Cork Block. After just five rungs I reach the bottom.""Water plunges 40 metres off the cliff top with so much gusto that the morning sun rising upstream creates a rainbow through the water spray. It reaches from one side of the falls to the other. Overhead, a lone wedge-tailed eagle, flirting on the updrafts, is dwarfed by the gaping gorge that opens up like a giant's yawn in the ancient landscape below."Waxing lyrical about everything from the windswept rocky crags of the high country to ghost hunting at the Bredbo Inn, Tim the Yowie Man is certainly not your average travel writer. Tim the Yowie Man is also a well known Canberra identity, mystery investigator, sometime radio host, history and ghost tour guide and the National Museum of Australia's 'resident cryptonaturalist'.In the Spirit of Banjo brings together a collection of some of his articles published in The Canberra Times, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Brisbane Times. In the Spirit of Banjo follows Tim's adventures from the nation's capital, to the Southern Highlands, the Snowy Mountains, the Southern Tablelands and the beautiful South Coast of New South Wales where he explores rugged mountain ranges, haunted lighthouses, stunning waterfalls, and other little known historical, ecological and environmental gems.
