In the book "Ghost Towns of Australia", George Farwell details the history of a number of towns and places in Australia that are, for better or worse, described by the author as ghost towns. Some, like, Port Arthur in Tasmania are past colonial penetantiaries. Others, old mining towns, like Silverton NSW - which is now better known for its set location in a number of Australian films.
The book was first published in 1965 and later revised in 1976. An interesting book for the Australian history buff and those that like ghost stories.
