Historical novels about Australia

I know Voss by Patrick White, about an early attempt to cross the continent. I remember a TV series from the 1980s about the town Ballarat.
What else?

Let's add the islands of Oceania.

How about True History of the Kelly Gang, by Peter Carey.

It's been a while, but I remember liking Morgan's Run by Colleen McCullough. Less romance than The Thorn Birds; more about settlement by British convicts.

I enjoyed Kate Grenville's Secret River -- the whole experience from transportation from prison to supplanting the indigenous culture...

Bryce Courtenay's Australian Trilogy - The Potato Factory, Tommo & Hawk, Solomon's Song.

There's a 12-book series called "The Australians" by William Stuart Long which is fluffy reading, but I enjoyed it for the Australian setting from the time of the First Fleet up through WWI.

Colleen McCullough - my favorite of her Australian books is The Ladies of Missalonghi, although I'm not sure it's historical fiction. There's also The Touch.

How about Oscar and Lucinda, by Peter Carey?

Nevil Shute's A Town like Alice

A few that are on my TBR pile and I have heard are quite good.
Gould's Book of Fish, coldwater, Jack Maggs and Miles McGinty.
I dont have a copy of it but I'm looking forward to Kate Grenvilles The Lieutenant at some stage, I really enjoyed Secret River. Also, a novel by a local writer, it is a very easy read, based on a young Australian man who went to fight in the American civil war A war for gentlemen : a novel.

I very much liked Eucalyptus by Murray Bail but I have a thing about trees.

Just found another, it's on my wishlist. Seems to have very good reviews. It's
English Passengers by Matthew Kneale.

I enjoyed Eucalyptus to, but I think of it more as a contemporary piece.

I seem to keep finding more good Aus HF.
Not that I've read it....yet!
But since it is 200 years since Darwins birth and 150 years since the publication of Origin of the Species just have to add this one to the list Mr. Darwin's Shooter by Roger McDonald.

Kate Grenville's most recent novel, The Lieutenant was quite good (hm, now why does the touchstone come up as "The Young Lieutenant"). It's a story around the arrival of the first fleet in 1788.

I had read All the Rivers Run (no touchstone for this one...it's an oldie) by Nancy Cato years ago and remember enjoying it. It's set in the 1800s I think, mainly on a riverboat. Thorn Birds genre type story.

I've found another one that I'm yet to read but it has excellent reviews Lambing Flat. It's set in the gold rush era and has significant historical events in it. I dont want to give too much away.

I can recommend Remembering Babylon by David Malouf. The setting is 19th century Queensland.

Try Marcus Clarke's For the Term of His Natural Life. It's out of copyright, the last section being published in 1872. It's not for the squeamish; a lot of cat o'nine tails, and one section of canabalism. Ah, I'd forgotten: mutiny, typhus, and love. It's well worth reading.

Wanting by Richard Flanagan. It's been listed for this years Miles Franklin award.

Just joined so I'm a bit late in responding. Don't forget Remember Me by Lesley Pearse about Mary Ingals (?), one of the first women to be sent to Australia's penal colony. Very good book!
