Ivan Milat's killing spree through the Australian outback left a trail of terror and cemented his legacy as one of the most ruthless serial killers in history. Targeting young backpackers seeking adventure, Milat turned the idyllic Belanglo State Forest into a nightmare, brutally murdering at least seven travellers. His horrifying crimes became the real-life inspiration for the hit horror film Wolf Creek, an iconic piece of Australian cinema. This book unravels the shocking details of Milat's brutality, the relentless investigation that brought him to justice, and the cultural effects that turned his story into both a cautionary tale and a dark fascination for true crime fans.
