For purposes of cracked-out Australiana, you might also want to read Frank Hardy. The Outcasts Of Foolgarah is one of my all time favourite funny books.
The Power & The Glory is based on a true story and set around where I live, though they renamed it Carringbush for the purposes of fiction. Seventy years later, parts of it - mostly the bits about football - still ring very true to me.
