Reblogging this repost from our friend in Australia just ahead of Two’s Day because I enjoyed it so much. It’s all there (but, sadly, Stephen Hawking is now deceased).

Maria, on another subject, I thought I’d mention a new Australian novel by Justin Smith “Cooper Not Out” because we both grew up with summer cricket in the background. It is a delightful story set in 1980s about a country policeman who ends up playing for Australia in a Test Match. I’m not sure if it’s available overseas yet, no obligation of course, but I did enjoy reading it.

Good call, Gretchen! Thanks for telling me about it. I was reading Dave Astor’s blog post the other day about Australian authors and he was asking ‘who else?’ I thought of you. You’d have a good long list!

I pasted in a link to Dave’s blog post in case you are interested to see what people pick out of the wealth of writers (Australian or with an Australian theme). I found a few surprises. Here’s the link again
