Australia
A Frog in the Billabong
It is a funny book about 12 years in Tasmania by a french woman, the many faux-pas her husband and her did, the culture shock, the many encounters, the food and wine industry, her business in gourmet foods “Exquisite Flavors�. Above all it is a touching and well written testimony to the love of the author for Tasmania.
