Lower your stress levels - read a book!
Just wanted to share this one with you:
Lesley Pearce - Remember Me (published by Penguin)
If you want an insight into what our forefathers went through read this novel! It's a bit girlie but it's a 'jolly good read'! All about the first fleet that sailed out to Australia (NSW) and early settlement (warts and all). Based on a true story too.
I found I could hardly put it down. At least reading this will give you all something else to think about other than wondering when you are going to get your visas / sell your house etc etc!
Happy reading!

I will check it out! I'm always looking for new books on Aus to read. I don't think I've heard of this one. I finally got round to reading 'The Dig Tree' last week (Sarah Murgatroyd) - have you read it? It's about Burke & Wills' expedition to be the first to traverse the Australian interior....fascinating and amazing when you consider they walked from Melbourne to the Gulf!!
There was a great thread a few months back that Anya started in which everyone listed their favourite Aussie authors/Aussie literature. (About 20 pages of A4 when I tried to print it out.) I'll do a search for it and post a link.

From the self-confessed 'book-aholic'.
I understand books are more expensive in Australia so I better get buying and bring my own library with me. The Dig Tree is first on the list! Anyone for swaps?!
