Thanks for the photographs, Bookpossum. I love photographs illustrating people or places I read about. I just found a thrift store book with over 200 photographs and illustrations depicting the people, places, and events I read about in Edward Rutherford's Dublin books, both of which I read in August. A treasure trove.

I finished The Secret River and really enjoyed it, although the events described were so very sad. It is a good historical read. The plight of aboriginal people is, of course, a familiar and tragic one in my own country. Beyond that I won't make any comment until others have finished the book. It is an excellent book club choice.
