Jane Austen Down Under
Fellow Janeite and member of the Jane Austen Society of Australia Dianne wrote to tell us of some upcoming events and news:
The annual Jane Austen Birthday/Christmas lunch will be taking place on December 17th at the Sydney Rowing Club in Abbotsford. All inquiries should be directed to books AT jasa.net.au
Also, the Genesian Theatre in Sydney is putting up a production of Sense and Sensibility, which opens this Friday, November 4th.
Finally, not so much an event as an announcement: the JASA has recently published a book entitled Jane Austen’s Brother Abroad: the Grand Tour Journals of Edward Austen. More information on the book is available here (you’ll have to scroll down a bit), as well as a preview of the text.

That’s cool, Australia didn’t seem to like P&P very much though.
I feel like going to a ball, anyone wanna come?
