A collection of well put together, detailed summaries of some of the strangest and most baffling mysteries you will ever hear about. Clear concise writing, with further examples described for each mystery, makes this a very interesting read.

This is a very nicely put together book exploring unexplained phenomena. Some books of this nature have an amateurish feel, but this is a smooth and professional read. A large variety of experiences are recounted in a well-organised layout, in a comfortable writing style that does not strive to be spooky (beyond stating what occurred) or sensationalist. It certainly has me thinking about the scattering of unusual things I've experienced in my life...

The stories were fine, though some were a bit creepy (and not in a scary way), but they take place in Australia and I didn't recognize any of the places. That took away from the stories.

The sequel to the popular "Great Australian Mysteries", "Great Australian Mysteries 2" returns to the topic of Australian strangeness, although sadly it seems that Pinkney ran out of peak Australian strangeness and at times had to dip into the "not overly strange" and the "woman saw a strange light in the sky so it must be a UFO" types of "strangeness".

As in "Great Australian Mysteries", Pinkney relates a number of intriguing stories, including unsolved murders (Wanda Beach and Easey St), the truly confusing (what the hell was John Friedrich attempting to do with his militia?) and the usual "strange lights in the sky" stories to pad out the book. While certainly worth a read as an introduction to Australian mysteries, be aware that most of these stories are covered more extensively and/or better in other books.… (meer)
