It's also a great read. You need to prepare two even if you are only asked for one. The Arrival done well is excellent so long as your grasp of vial literacy is good. Mao is also a good choice. Its a big book but very easy to read. The film is worth a look although I think the book is better. The Arrival is a great text but a lot of people do it now making it more competitive to do it well.

Both can be got from the net. More unusual choices would be the poetry of Oodgeroo Nununcle and other indigenous poets. There's an older anthology of poems and short stories edited by Peter Skyrznecki,<em> Joseph's Coa</em>t. Also the work of Angelo Loukarkis.
