AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The background to the Speewah legends, speaking about a huge mythical shearing shed in a place called 'Speewa', is discussed. The location of the place, which is now totally unrelated to the legends, is presented, also questioning whether the legends originated in the area or whether the place got its name from the legendary sheep station.' (Publication abstract)
