Australian Reading Challenge 2022 - hosted by curatoriallyyours

A book featuring an Australian place name in the title.
This doesn't strictly need to be written by an Australian author, but kudos to you if it is! Feel free to include non-fiction about a place here if that's your thing... or get creative looking for fiction featuring an Australian place name.
