Irrational Beliefs in Australia
Is Australia truly a land of mystery and wonders? I can only answer that with "yes it is". We are the land of the oldest living culture in the world, that of the indigenous peoples, we have natural wonders from the coast to the desert and great modern cities to rival any in the world. However, like so many other countries, Australia too has no end of paranormal, supernatural and pseudoscientific claims. https://neo-skepsis.blogspot.com/2022/06/por-que-es-que-los-lugares-lejanos.html |
