They're a Weird Mob

Nino Culotta arrived in Australia fresh off the boat - he came to Sydney as an Italian journalist on behalf of an Italian publishing house, to tell the readers at home all about life Down Under and what it's like to emigrate.This is a hilarious snapshot of the immigrant experience in Menzies-era Australia, by a writer with a brilliant ear for the Australian way with words. This would become the start of a series of popular novels following the adventures of Nino Culotta.
