| Description : |
The 'Nullarbor Nymph' caused a sensation in late 1971 when she was spotted on the Nullarbor Plain, dressed only in kangaroo skins. In May 1972 it was revealed that the Nymph was an invention of some locals at Eucla. This newspaper article features Geneice Scott, the woman who posed as the Nullarbor Nymph, 20 years after the hoax. |
