Just remembered I hadn't put the couple of photos on here from our holiday in Nth NSW, Yamba and environs with a visit to Maclean, "the Scottish town" nearby. As mentioned, I bought myself People of the Book. But I am still reading my way through The Tree of Man - it's a dense read but enjoyable. It's got a lovely quiet style about it, a gentle portrait of a marriage which began in the isolation of the Australian bush and with time, the community grew around the couple; there was a war and children and now they are heading into old age, with all the creaks and groans that places on a relationship.
This was a nice sign on the bookshop in Maclean.
