Cloudstreet 
By Tim Winton
Often referred to as "the great Australian novel", Cloudstreet is a post WWII yarn about two unlikely families that share a big house in Perth. Capturing the Aussie vernacular and psyche with casual ease, Winton transports you into the lives of these ordinary people who are basically giving life their best shot. A must read that will have you LOLing, and probably planning a picnic trip to the ocean.
