The Lucky Galah by Tracy Sorensen
4.0
A fresh, quirky novel. Many little flights of fancy set in the bright sunlight of a small town on the cyclone prone WA coast.
One small step for a pet Galah narrating 1960s small coastal town Australia and the human Galahs he observes. Particularly noting 'the trackers', who operate 'The Dish', and their small but essential contribution to the moon landing.
Delightfully nostalgic.
A worthy addition to the 2019 Miles Franklin Long-list. Not sure if it will make it through to the short-list but very pleased to have read it.
It will be interesting to see what this author comes up with next.
