Few of these folk or features are well-known. All have a story to share. In this volume, we explore the stretch of Old Hume highway between Gunning and Gundagai. We meet odd and interesting people and investigate intriguing places and events. Mountain-tops and murderers. Suicides and spooks. Flivvers and floatplanes and floods. Bushfire, pandemics, bunyips and bridges. Persons colourful, admirable, execrable and astute. Locales remote, abandoned, busy and becalmed: * Rapine, revels and reverence at Jerrawa. * The eight bewhiskered sons of Henry Manton. * Two doughty Yass ladies not to be trifled with. * Mount Bowning. Unlicked. * Deep waters at Burrenjuck. * ‘Spider’ Martin and the Bookham Battler. * The Mystery of Mary Mathews. * The Flivver and the Monkey Nose. * The Jugiong Rioters. * Apocalypse at Coolac. * The Parable of the Warby Brothers at Mingay. * Gunda-guys, Gunda-gals. One night in the Niagara Café. … and many other persons and prominences. Once Upon a Hume is a travellers’ companion.
