        I suppose that the most common reference we may have to OZ would be
"The Thorn Birds" miniseries, and the book of course.
        I'm also an avid mystery reader and one of my favorite sleuths is
Napoleon Bonaparte, a Police Inspector from Sydney who is half aborigine.
The novels were written by Arthur W. Upfield  and some of the milieu he
describes resonates with our US sense of the frontier.......
