My question would be will your book be Australia specific?
Note: you wouldn't want to put shrimp on a Barbie in the US. You might upset young girls if you put food on their doll.

The story is (currently)
deliberately vague about its locale. This may be a mistake because it can be difficult to write casual conversation that doesn't in some way reflect its environment. It was okay when I thought it was going to be shorter, but things have been evolving unexpectedly.
I'm not really sure how the "shrimp on the barbie" got so well known. Must have been a city-thing, I think. Seafood was never a feature of the barbecues I ever attended. Growing up inland, seafood didn't play a big part of my diet - barbecued or otherwise. We didn't even barbecue yabbies (freshwater crayfish).

Thanks. I'm sure I can find an appropriate replacement, the surprise was discovering that I needed to.
