  1. A Priest Story

    Share Share Post
    Near Coolum cliffs there is a round flat rock lying in the middle of Mr Henry Power's feild. On it is the track of a mare, a foal, a man and a dog, walking round it. The track of them is sunk deep into the rock. It is there for hundreds of years and it can be seen still.
    It is believed to be a man stealing a priests mare and foal.
