Songlines – Bruce Chatwin which we re-read after visiting the Red centre and Far North

Cicada – Moria McKinnon. Highly recommended and written by a colleague of Paul’s that comes from Western Australia and now lives in Canberra

Island Home by Time Winton and Australia Day by Melanie Cheng both of which Lois discovered during our travels

Movie: That’s Not my Dog! Unfortunately this does not seem to be available on iTunes or Netflix in Canada but if you ever have a chance watch it and you will be surely be laughing out loud. It is a film of a real life party where all of the guests are comedians and the whole production, with some musical interludes, is them telling jokes (rated R)!
