COMP CLOSED: Win two true-blue rural lit books from Karly Lane and Fleur McDonald!

Ahhh, what could be more Australian than a silhouette of a windmill and bouncing kangaroos against a backdrop of orange sky and red earth? Ahem, well after intense discussions with Australia Post, we realised it would be too difficult to package all that up, so we’ve gone with two new books from a very Australian genre – rural fiction.

Rural literature has exploded as a genre in the past decade, with many talented authors having thrown their ‘akubra’ into the ring. Fleur McDonald (a.k.a. “The Voice of the Outback”) and Karly Lane are two such popular talents – each with a new book out in recent months.

One lucky person has the chance to win Fleur’s latest, Sapphire Falls and Karly’s new one, Third Time Lucky. To be in to win, simply tell us in THREE WORDS what Australia means to you.

That’s it. Three separate words or a sentence – your choice.
Our favourite will win the two-book pack from Fleur and Karly!

 

THIS COMPETITION HAS NOW CLOSED. THANKS FOR YOUR ENTRIES!
