Ping Pong Poms 

A fictional look at emigrating to Australia written by an author who did just that. Ping Pong Poms focuses on different couples as they leave their relatives and friends and head for the land of sunshine, cuddly koalas and kangaroos. Their expectations are high… after all they’re going to a land where English is spoken, where they drive on the left and where there are large communities of Brits.

For some life in Oz is perfection… the beaches, the barbies, the relaxed way of life, but others find the difference in their lifestyles far too much.

Who will survive and who will become a Ping Pong Pom, as the Aussies love to call the people who give up and decide to go back home?
