Please go to my website www.historyoutthere.com to read, listen, like and share the story, "The Great Cab Strike of 1865." In colonial Queensland in the 19th century a stolen umbrella could have landed you in gaol. Please go to my website to read, hear and share the entire fascinating story, "The Umbrella Offender." 150 years ago George Frost continued to be tormented by his wife even after he died. Please go to my website to read, hear and share the entire fascinating story, "Tormented Beyond the Grave." I really enjoy receiving greetings from followers around the world, and particularly love today's video from the Muddy Creek Picker who's in Paris looking to make the biggest pick of his life, good luck! 😃 Go to the Cobb & Co Museum and discover a legend of the Australian Outback.

Go to my www.historyoutthere.com website for the whole story "Furious Riding of Resilient John Barnes" and subscribe for free to get two weekly stories delivered to your inbox. While in Melbourne I tracked down the Brisbane superfan behind a rare piece of sports memorabilia linked to a Toowoomba championship. Please follow the link on my profile for the story, "The Oldest Fan Letter in NBL History." The day after the Brisbane Lions won their 3rd consecutive AFL premiership, the NBL's oldest known fan mail to the Brisbane Bullets - it was sent 46 years ago in just the second year of the league - gets verified in Fitzroy.
