Anyone interested in novels based on Australian history - convicts, colonial power, transportation, australian bush life?

I'm reading a great series about Australian history at the moment. It's written by Peter Watt.

I've got The Fatal Shore in my pile of books to be read, but .... BEEP, disqualified, it's non-fiction.

Thomas Keneally and his daughter have just published a crime fiction novel set in penal NSW. Now if I could only remember what it was called... It's intended to be the first of a series.

I liked Kate Grenville's book The Secret River.

>5 Cecrow: The fatal shore was the inspiration for almost every convict-era novel written since then, including several of Thomas Kenneally's, so I wouldn't exclude it.
Some of Patrick White's novels have 19th century settings, in particular Voss and A fringe of leaves. And White is always worth reading.
Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin's stopover in Botany Bay is quite entertaining (see The Nutmeg of Consolation).
I have The true history of the Kelly gang on my TBR shelf, but I find I enjoy Peter Carey less with each of his books that I read...
