Tim Winton is a truly great australian author, hs books-cloudstreet+That Eye The Sky
are beautiful aussie novels. i love bryce courtney to, the FAMILY FRYING PAN is one of my favorites!
i'm in the middle of reading "Joe Cinque's Consolation"
by Helen Garner its a non fiction, dealing with the different sides of a murder, it was recommended to me by my adv teacher and i have found it very helpful. good luck
