How well do you know Aussie books? Take our quiz to find out

A good book possesses the power to transport readers to unfamiliar worlds or immerse them deeply within their own surroundings. Certain literary works become intrinsically linked to their settings, such as Trent Dalton's "Boy Swallows Universe" with Brisbane or Alexis Wright's "Carpentaria" with Far North Queensland.

As ABC Radio National gears up to present its countdown of the Top 100 Australian Books later this year, with public voting commencing on August 31, the cultural significance of homegrown literature is being celebrated. The initiative aims to highlight the rich tapestry of Australian storytelling across the decades.

Australian authors, including luminaries like Charmian Clift, Tim Winton, and Melina Marchetta, are renowned for their ability to evoke a powerful sense of place, whether within Australia's borders or beyond. Their contributions have shaped the nation's literary landscape, offering diverse perspectives and compelling narratives.

To engage the public and gauge their familiarity with the nation's literary heritage, a quiz has been developed. This quiz invites readers to test their knowledge of some of Australia's most memorable books, encouraging a deeper appreciation for the country's literary achievements.
