Summary
"Lois Nicholls is 3 months pregnant. With husband and clingy toddler in tow, she sets off from Durban, South Africa, to a sweltering Brisbane, arriving on Australia Day 1997.

Aussie actually is a warts and all account of Lois's eleven year sojourn as a migrant wife and mother living in Brisbane, Australia."--Provided by publisher.
