Leahy has tapped into the Australian funny-bone in a simple, effervescent way which will appeal to readers everywhere.” David Hummerston, Saturday Editor, THE WEST AUSTRALIAN “Leahy’s dinky-di cast of characters, beaut penmanship and off-centre jokes are guaranteed to bring a smile to the faces of Sun-Herald readers from Burke to Bondi.” Alan Revell, Group Executive, FAIFAX NEWSPAPERS “Beyond The Black Stump is unfair to pelicans!!*??!!#*......It does well for us - it is innovative, distinctly Australian and attracts a loyal following.” Jack Waterford, Editor-in-Chief, THE CANBERRA TIMES
