Has anyone considered 'A Bride from the Bush' by Hornung?

Found here at: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/38388 -- 82k words, about a 9hr book all told.

Also suggested on 27th December in Timothy's thread "2012 Year of Reading Australia" over in Volunteers wanted forum.

My daughter read it (I've only read the first chapter but have it on my 'to do' list) said it was funny, ending a bit disappointing, kind of combination of Henty and Wodehouse. Concerns clash between British and Australian cultures, I understand.

I only read the first page or so and it seems very suitable for the "2012 Year of Reading Australia." Timothy hasn't replied yet, so maybe - if you plan on recording it, you could contact him for deadlines etc.?
