[[Crooked Mick]] is a larger-than-life character from [[Australia (country)|Australian]] [[Oral Tradition]], emerging during the era of the swagmen. A sort of aussie [[Paul Bunyan]], he is almost ubiqitious with the equally fantastic [[Speewah]]; there are Speewah tales without Crooked Mick, but there are no Crooked Mick tales not set in the Speewah.
Crooked Mick, like his American [[Wild West]] counterparts, is a giant of a man and skilled in many trades. Hard-working, hard-playing, [[Made of Iron]] and with [[Big Eater|an appetite to match his size]], Crooked Mick is regarded as the quintessential bushman. Nothing was beyond his capabilities; he could lift huge weights, shear massive amounts of sheep in no time flat, cook pies so light that a gust of wind would carry them, kick crocodiles to the moon, move mountains, and generally do anything that everyone else could do, but 100 times better than anyone else could do.
