"The Beach" is a classic novel by the Australian author Neville Shute. Also wrote "A Town like Alice" about an Australian woman survive WW2 while being under Japanese care.

A Town Like Alice (1950)
This is widely considered Shute’s best-known work

.It tells the story of Jean Paget, a young Englishwoman captured by Japanese forces in Malaya during WWII, and her eventual life in Australia after receiving an inheritance. The novel explores human endurance, romance, and the transformation of a small Australian town under her guidance. It balances historical realism with hope and strength

He has written other novels based around WW2

You mean On The Beach? The premise -- that radiation creeps down to Australia -- is scientifically ridiculous. Ignore that and it is a pretty dark and fatalistic story.

Yep. South of the equator is the place to be during a large-scale nuclear war.

Maybe not for long if the military buildup/influence in SA by USA continues. Some new targets may be added to CCP or Russian nuclear target lists in SA wherever we may end up setting up sizable 'camps' as the Southern Hemisphere becomes more & more important due to critical minerals & resources lacking in already established world powers own countries. OR their lack of interest of using up their own resources first before others...

True ,by the time any of the previous nuclear disasters so called radioactive clouds got here they amounted to nothing. No threat what so ever. Simply because of travel distance and time. As we know.

Wow you can put as many camps as you like here. Our targets are so few are far between 90% of Australia won't see a cloud or affects . I'm not talking population simply the land itself.

Yes, one can easily disappear in the Australian Outback, except every living creature on that continent is fatal to humans. I think I'd rather take my chances with the radiation.

Radiation will be the least of your issues once it is at safe levels. Population left is the real danger. Your supplies maybe shared more than you intended.

That's why we moved 60 miles away from Indianapolis in the middle nowhere six months before Russia invaded Ukraine. People out here are much more likely to band together for community survival than people in the city. We also have more experience living off the land. As one TV survivalist put it, "When law and order and society collapse, regardless of the reason, the first three things you need to do are get out of the cities, get out of the cities, and get out of the cities."

Downside: We get 30 Mb internet speeds out here, *if* it's working.
