THE EUCLA NYMPH -

In an attempt to drum up a bit of publicity for the town, a story was spread in 1971 that a half naked blonde girl had gone feral and was living with the kangaroos.

How many visitors this attracted to the town remains a mystery but the press had a field day.

Apparently the originator of this hoax was a kangaroo shooter named Laurie Scott and his girlfriend Geneice Brooker. A statue commemorating the 'nymph' stands outside the Flinders Medical Centre in Adelaide.
