I imagine that most of these books will be by Australian writers, but I'm happy to add books by international authors where appropriate.
I will attempt to list picture books, teen books & non-fiction titles as well as adult books.
I would be delighted to hear about your favourite books that have been set in one particular state or region of Australia.
Please leave a note or review link in the comments below stating which state, city or region the book features and any information you might like to share about the author.
