Primarily these yarns were written with an Australian readership in mind, most of whom would understand and appreciate the slang words and phrases used, particularly by unsophisticated bushies. However, I imagine some of the terms may leave non-Australians a bit perplexed. Stick with it, and by the time you’ve read Witness for the Defence, you will have probably worked out what a 'sheila’ is, along with all the other words and expressions that are uniquely Australian country in origin.I hope you enjoy the adventures of the 110 characters who play some role in these yarns. As an author, I feel I know these people--- how they look, how they speak, how they would react to different circumstances, and so on. If you, the reader, can similarly identify with them, you will probably get some satisfaction from this book.
