'A new extended collection from Jim Haynes about the true essence of Australia – our yarns and stories, from every walk of life.

''Aussies love a good story and entertainer Jim Haynes has been telling them for decades' - Courier-Mail

'The Big Book of Australian Yarns is master storyteller Jim Haynes' comprehensive collection of factual and fanciful stories and humour. The yarns range from the poignant to the hilarious, the ridiculously Australian to the unexplained and spooky. There are heroic and inspiring Aussie characters, as well as our larrikins and crooks, and everyday humorous events told with a refreshing understatement that vividly evokes a vanishing Australia.

'There are tall stories from the bush, yarns from the trenches and shearing sheds, railway stories, sporting legends and humour, and many things you never knew about our amazing history and the people who made it – men and women whose fascinating lives and achievements created the Aussie spirit.

'The result of decades of researching popular Aussie culture and history from all parts of the country and unearthing little known facts and undiscovered information, The Big Book of Australian Yarns will tell you things you never knew, have you smiling for days and spinning yarns to all your mates.'  (Publication summary)
