I have just finished reading the "Knockabout Girl" by Pip Newling. It is an biography of a 23 year old Sydney sider who works as a bar maid in the Australian outback for a year, back in 1990. It tells of her adventures serving Aborigines, being the white girl, remoteness, adventure, drinking, friendships, romance etc. It is a really easy read as there are like a million short chapters (like 3 pages each) so you can always put it down and come back to it later. I really enjoyed it and recommend it to anyone who dreams of living the outback life. I mean it's not a literary marvel by any means but a good easy read none the less. 4/5 stars
