OK I have a few but will add more if I think of any. Since I'm Aussie these are all from Oz.

Disappearance of Prime Minister Harold Holt

Disappearance of toddler William Tyrell

The Min Min lights

Black panther sightings in Sydney's Blue Mountains

Marree Man, South Australia

Devil's Pool (Babinda Boulders, Queensland)

Port Arthur (both the convict history and the 1996 massacre which will lead you deep deep down into conspiracy territory)

The great Emu War - humans against Emu's. No I'm not joking.

The diving tarantulas of Maningrida, Northern Territory (not for arachnaphobes!)

The disappearance of Juanita Nielsen

1979 Sydney ghost train fire

Megalania

The Yowie

Pine Gap

Lasseter's Reef

The Family, a cult headed by Anne Hamilton-Byrne

Maralinga (British nuclear testing)

That's all I can think of at the moment.

Great to see some of these which I haven’t come across before. I’ve been reading about port Arthur and the massacre but cannot find a conspiracy theory about it? What is it please?

The conspiracy is that Martin Bryant didn't do it (he did) if you Google Port Arthur conspiracy it will come up.
