I’m sick of reading American books. Would love some Aussie recommendations.

    I quite enjoyed On the Beach (1957). It’s post apocalyptic, set heavily in Melbourne following a nuclear war.

    Author is British though, but he wrote it after moving to Australia.

      I remember liking the Tomorrow, When the War Began series as a teenager (set in rural Vic). It’s about a group of Aussie teenagers who return from a bush camping trip to find everyone in the town gone. I remember it gets pretty dark and seemed really grounded for a YA series at the time, but I was 15 so take it with a grain of salt haha
