Some Cultural Baggage on the Australian Literary Scene
Feature
Lolo Houbein

Above all we need new myths to suit the new Australian culture which is part of the Asia Pacific region. We can't live by Aboriginal myths alone, as some have suggested, in a land so changed by our coming.

Wrote David Malouf.
