Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1mb
Overview: Two loveable old scallywags break an obscure law to “prove” the existence of the Tasmanian Tiger, a marsupial dog that is widely believed to be extinct.
The two octogenarians also want to make sure the uppity former mayor gets what he deserves in this black comedy.
He’s invested their life savings in volatile gold-mining shares without their knowledge. Even worse, he’s also secretly invited a new member to join their last-man-standing lottery: a 92-year-old Irish priest dubbed Father O’Boring, who refuses to die.
Caught in the middle is a new arrival in town who looks a lot like the man-mountain who once tied the same unpleasant mayor to a tree overnight, and was later sent to prison for assaulting him with a football trophy.
The mysterious newcomer has arrived to take charge of the Windy Mountain Tasmanian Tiger Museum, owned by a dodgy syndicate with other plans for the site.
When the devious manager sets him up to fail, the two old men, Oodles and Wish-Wash, come to the rescue.
The former mayor ridicules anyone who thinks the Tasmanian Tiger still roams the bush – and especially not the main street of Windy Mountain.
You’ll find quirky characters around lots of corners in this funny novel, which offers a touch of mystery and a lot of laughs.
