They're making a movie? I shall have to put that on my list of must see movies. Loved that book.

As for Seven Little Australians... I'm aware of it. I'm pretty sure I watched a movie of mini-series or something years and years ago. But I've never read it. (shh, don't let that get around. There's no telling what kind of thing will get you branded Unaustralian these days and I can't afford to be chucked out of the country just yet)
