> Tomorrow night the intrepid investigators against the many masks of
> Nyarlathotep will journey further into Australia..
>
> In the last session the party made their way initially to Darwin, a small
> and sleepy town of wide streets and verandahs, but with a notable
> indigenous and Chinsese population.

> Whilst setting themselves they received a message from Erica Carlyle of an
> extraordinary lecture that had been held in New York concerning a cult
> operating in northern Australia by Professor Anthony Cowles which followed
> The Father of All Bats. Whilst the cult was believed to be extinct, there
> was also a set of glass slides from one Arthur MacWhirr from Port Hedland
> which showed (a) enormous blocks of worked stone and (b) deaths from
> indigenous attacks which indicated practises similar to the extinct cult.
>
> Listening to a few tall tales and true at the local drinking
> establishment, re-affirmed rumour that the bat cult was operating again.
> One tale spoke of a city in the middle of the Great Sandy Desert,
> attributed to a koori worker at the Randolph Shipping Company.
>
> Visiting the Shipping Company, the party engaged with the foul-mouth yob
> who owned the place. They also noticed a box addressed to the Penhew
> Foundation. Putting aside any legal qualms in the quest to prevent the
> rise of a terrible alien, the investigators returned to the company and,
> by a combination of inebriation, stealth, and pure good luck, escaped with
> the contents of the box. A strange alien artifact! Putting discretion
> befor valor, they left for Port Hedland in their yacht.
>
> In the even smaller town of Port Hedland they made inquiries for Arthur
> MacWhirr which led them to the home of Robert Mackenzie who informed them
> of Arthur's demise, but with the memory of the location of the strange
> city planted firmly in his mind.

> MacKenzie's recommendation was that the party travel to Cuncudgerie by
> train and from their make their way to the site by vehicle. Reaching this
> boom town, in a manner of speaking, the investigators once again found a
> rich source of rumours at the local drinking establishment. This time it
> spoke of covered up mining disasters, attacks by bears(!) on cattle, the
> need to avoid the Slattery's of Dingo Falls, a mining expedition led by
> John Carver, a sighting of a ghost near Dingo's Falls, the sighting of
> giant birds, weird tall emaciated Kooris, and.. of course, the story of
> Arthur McWhirr.

> Not much there these days either :)
