Good to see someone taking advantage of Lawson's bush yarns
BUT
AFAIK he never got as far as SA, he was too busy drinking in NSW.
That statue bears little resemblance to the description I have in Lawson's Prose Works.
Must be the "modern" version.

And if you have never read the tale...well, you're joking, right ?

The hairs on the back of my neck still stand up whenever I read "The Chinaman's Ghost."

Thank goodness I don't live in his time. I'd never survive.
