I'm also coveting the 50th anniversary Penguin edition of Picnic at Hanging Rock.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-82920020187791194212017-10-03T14:40:50.209+11:002017-10-03T14:40:50.209+11:00Glad you'll be joining us LyzzyGlad you'll be joining us Lyzzy Bronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110584237325026052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-30642450341968558592017-10-03T14:40:07.811+11:002017-10-03T14:40:07.811+11:00I hope you can join us Helen.

Richard Mahony is one of my all-time favourite Australian books (set predominantly in Victoria - the goldfields of Ballarat and Melbourne in particular). <br /><br />A Descant for Gossips is Queensland based.<br /><br />The Road for Coorain is NSW. I knew very little about this book until I checked on goodreads for its details. Just adding it to my wishlist now 😊<br /><br />Cloudstreet is WA<br /><br />And Dark Emu Black Seeds could be your freebie as it's about all of Australia.<br /><br />I have reviews for Richard Mahony & Dark Emu on my blog & I've also read Cloudstreet twice pre-blog. <br />Nancy can also tell you how fantastic Thea Astley is. <br /><br />Hope this helps.Bronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110584237325026052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-15073033371905838652017-10-02T11:20:33.069+11:002017-10-02T11:20:33.069+11:00Yay!
