The reviews in the first, much bigger, group were published in The Bulletin, Townsville, on the dates given. There are a few more book reviews at the bottom of the page (here) which appeared elsewhere or only on this site. Most of my CD reviews, 2004 - 2008, are here.
Links (click on titles or book covers) take to you to revised copies of the reviews on this site. The reviews I have chosen to put here are mostly of books I particularly liked, especially if they happen to be Australian and therefore less likely to be reviewed elsewhere.
