I recently had the privilege of attending the launching of a new book.
Hosted by Ballarat Books, this event featured co-authors Dr David Waldron and Simon Townsend with Snarls From the Tea Tree.
To quote the publicity:
For the past 150 years Victoria’s bushland has been haunted by the myth of large cat like predators stalking the wilderness, feeding on stock and leaving stories in local folklore and mythology.
Snarls from the Tea-Tree traces the development of the story from its origins in the colonization of Victoria to the present day and explores the themes, legends, claims and context of this deeply pervasive urban legend in rural Victoria.
Dr David Waldron is a lecturer in History and Anthropology at the University of Ballarat. Simon Townsend is a veteran big cat researcher and co-founder of Big Cats Victoria. View More Book Launch – “Snarls From the Tea Tree”
This month we have a new set of Logic and Maths Puzzles, as well as our now-traditional Picture Puzzles, Mixed Bag Questions and Crossword.
Usually our crossword puzzles have a monthly theme about some aspect of Skeptical interest. The crossword for September 2012 is on a slightly different theme. Vic Skeptics provides free resources for the classroom at all age levels. This Crossword is an example. It’s called Measurement – Units and Quantities and is aimed at Senior Secondary Physics students. See how far you can get without having to google!
