I agree completely, Mike; he's a very under-rated author. The biggest problem with using his books as a guide to Australian culture is that our culture is changing around us so fast that his books tell of an Australia of the 1950's, which I look back on fondly. I look around me now and shake my head. Perhaps I'm becoming a "dogmudgeon"!
