Tirra Lirra by the River
Foveaux
All That Swagger
Poor Man's Orange (which I have read, and loved, and purchased my own copy, but not opened yet. Ruth Park is my all-time absolute favourite AWW, or writer for that matter, even if she is technically a Kiwi!)
I recently worked my way through a fantastic collection of Australian short stories compiled by Don Anderson called "Contemporary Classics 65-95" which has introduced me to many excellent AWW, sadly, I have never even heard of most of them! If I can finish reading the ones above, I will be seeking out books by:
Thea Astley
Nadia Wheatley
Helen Garner
Kate Grenville
Janette Turner Hospital
Elizabeth Jolley
Joan London
Gillian Mears
Amy Witting
So this may end up being a "Franklin" after all!
