The Book
At the end of 2017, the Brisbane community successfully crowdfunded enough money for local author, Caylie Jeffery, to publish a book called Under the Lino: The Mystery, The History and the Community.
The book, released in October 2018, is a mixed media, creative non-fiction account of the events (and the subsequent journey) surrounding the discovery of three 1940/50s bankbooks and money found underneath the lino flooring of Caylie’s 1912 Queenslander in Milton.
You can order your copy book now or find out more about the book (and the discovery behind it) here.
