Lynne also has another book coming out later this year - "Paganism in Australia" available now.

"Witches of Oz" is another publication that you might be interested in having a look at, as it is particularly focused on the "Australian situation, particularly in relation to the festivals and correspondences. It is a hard book to find, as I understand it is out of print. (Ed's Note: This book has recently just been reprinted).
