How un-Australian of me! I read the Lockie Leonard books when I was younger too, somehow slipped my mind that he wrote those as well. So, I <b>have</b> read Winton, just not his novels aimed at adults! Holy crap, I didn’t realize the Bugalugs Bum Thief was Winton! How un-Australian of me!

Oh, and I've also read 'The Bum Thief' which is also by Winton so maybe that counts too. Classic! Bit disappointing to hear about 'Cloudstrreet' since it's been frequently touted as one of the Great Australian Classics.
