Australian States and Territories Challenge

This group has become officially dormant. It happens. If you want to revive this group, or create a new group on the same topic, see this page.

Australian States and Territories Challenge

That’s right can you read a book that is mostly set in each of Australia's six states and two mainland territories? This group was inspired by the various challenges that are out there for other countries and continents. The goal is to attempt to read (or have read) at least one book (fiction or non-fiction) from each state and mainland territory. Feel free to read more than one and of course feel free to try and add some of Australia’s external territories!

Here are the states and territories:

New South Wales
Queensland
South Australia
Tasmania
Victoria
Western Australia

Northern Territory
Australian Capital Territory

Each participant can start their own thread to follow their own challenge and I will start a thread for each state/ territory where ideas can flow about what are good books from each location. I hope this is a good way to share some less well known Australian books.

Above all have fun reading.
