Dream Land

During the Gold Rush of the 19^th-Century, a Shaun Cott disappeared from his home in New South Wales.  Many assumed he had simply caught "Gold Fever," until a newcomer approached police about a nightmare he had.

The man lead police to Cott's employer's farm, where they dug up the body of none other than Shaun Cott!  His skull had been bashed in.  Cott's employer was hanged for the crime.
