Battler goes to the Gold Coast

Sandy Thorne

I got one of Sandy's book of poems at Expo 88 and found them touching and hilarious. Very clever.

This story did not work for me. I like australian yarns like prickle farmer and old ones like dad and dave. This was just not that standard. I found it sexist and chauvinistic and judgemental. I skipped though it but nothing landed for me.
