Barry McGlowan’s Australian Ghost Towns unearths the eerie rise and fall of abandoned settlements across the continent, pairing rigorous historical research with the haunted atmosphere that lures today’s travellers. This 2004 Australian trade paperback guides readers through dusty main streets, empty mine shafts and forgotten cemeterries, revealing how boom-and-bust cycles shaped both landscape and legend.

Ideal for fans of Australian history, travel and the paranormal, the book blends biography, geography and ghost lore into a compelling narrative that feels like a road-trip in print. At 246 pages, it serves as a practical reference for hobby explorers and a fascinating armchair journey for those who prefer their chills safely on the page.

This used copy remains gently readable; a faint watermark on the top edge of the closed book barely intrudes on the text and won’t stop you from turning pages. It’s a solid, budget-friendly addition to any collection of local history, travel guides or Australian true stories. Grab it before it vanishes like the towns inside.
