>> Hi English teaching colleagues,
>>  I  hope you're  enjoying your holidays.  I'm wondering if anyone
>> suggest an  Australian short story anthology covering writers from early
>> to fairly recent times - and exploring myths and stereotypes (e.g that
>> the bush and the outback are what is quintessentially Australian) .This
>> is because Selected Aust Short Stories ed.Kerryn Goldsworthy is going
>> out of print next year and I'm looking for something that would be
>> suitable for year 11.
>> Also, what about suitable texts by Australian women writers - apart from
>> 'The Dressmaker and 'Stolen'? (any genre except film)? and Australian
>> poetry collections as 2 Centuries of Aus Poetry - ed. Mark O'Connor may
>> not be reprinted next year.
>> Grateful for any suggestions,
>> Cheers,
>> Sue Sherman
