Picnic Races — Dymphna Cusack

Picnic Races is a cheerful comedy celebrating the lives of small-town Australians. Gubba is preparing to celebrate its centenary and its history as a gold rush town. But there are two factions in Gubba - the wealthy 'woolocracy' with their social pretensions, and the ordinary townsfolk who are just after the peaceful life. Pretty young Eden Dutton gets caught up in the feud when her father wants to make the town a centre for tourism and 'picnic races.' But her heart seems to be fighting for the opposite side. A surprise discovery brings a change when it was least expected and upsets all the townspeople's plans.
