Are you planning to visit Australia or possibly even move to Australia? I don’t know about you but I love finding out as much as possible about a place before I visit.  As well as reading blogs and travel guides I also enjoy reading fictional works associated with the country.

If Australia is a destination on your bucket list these are some of the books I highly recommend adding to your reading list!
