In this podcast I introduce you to the enigmatic William Murphy, through oral history recordings, photographs, an old newspaper cutting, a death certificate and a song. Early last century, the elderly Mr Murphy decided to live in a beautiful, yet isolated part of the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, Australia.
Come with me on a journey of discovery as I piece together information about this fascinating character. The featured song is Old Mr Murphy.
