Book review - "They're a Weird Mob" by Nino Culotta

 Lovely. Funny. Warm. Can see why Aussies adored it - pokes fun at them but affectionate. Shows Australia to be embracing. Liked gags about unemployed radio actors hanging around. The romance is quick. Film version close to this except for romance - encounter at pub, meeting racists, meeting Italians, working for builders, builders wedding. Romance better in film except for dreadful hair scene. But the confrontation with her dad is here.
