Where can some worked problems in classical mechanics (and more specifically the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms) be found?

Question

I've been looking for a textbook in classical mechanics that's readily available (like can be found in the library of James Cook University of Townsville, Australia) and full of fully-answered questions in the Lagrangian/Hamiltonian formalisms yet I can't find any. My first port of call was the Schaum's Outlines and Demystified series but the only member of these series I could find that was relevant was Lagrangian Dynamics which is difficult for me to track-down in real-life.

It would be particularly helpful if one could point me to a free eBook with this material.

John R. Taylor's Classical Mechanics has a couple of chapters on Lagrange and Hamilton that I found very helpful.
