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.

About as isolated as one can get, really..

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 :)
