Foster's Australian Oddities is a wonderful collection of extraordinary facts and strange coincidences. It s packed with little-known tales that fascinate and entertain. From the story of the valuable cow with an apple stuck in her throat, to the schoolgirl who coughed up a small snake, from the waistcoat-wearing kangaroo, to the man who ate his panama hat... this book is dedicated to the strange, the unusual and the bizarre. Like Robert Ripley who travelled the world looking for strange facts, Allen Foster does the same via old books and digital archives from his home in a farm in Ireland.
