Mary Ann Day

Kangaroos and Champagne Mary Ann Day

English rose Sally Wiltshire is on a mission. She's fallen in love with Australia and wants to live there. She's also fallen for gorgeous Aussie hunk Rick. But to her dismay, Rick's acquired a moody girlfriend since they last met-and is now off limits.

As Sally sets about following her Australian dream to live long term Down Under, she faces some tough challenges, as well as fun and frolics. She struggles to find a job. But not being a plumber or brain surgeon, she is not eligible as a key worker on Australia's list of essential professions. So, Sally determines to find a man to marry to be able to get herself a long-term visa.

As an incurable romantic, she'd love to fall in love with Mr Right, be swept off her feet and have a passport to Oz through true love. Would the elusive Rick qualify as Mr Right? Or is there another knight in shining armour waiting for her on the horizon? Or should she give up altogether on finding Mr Right and settle for an arranged marriage with Mr Alright, aka Visa Man? Sally's adventures in search of her quest for love and a visa take her on a roller-coaster ride of thrills and spills, laughter and sadness. She explores the varied nightlife of Sydney, takes a foray into the Australian bush with a suicidal maniac, sings karaoke with a man and his dog, and wonders about marrying a gay friend, or a total stranger-all in her pursuit of happiness. Will Sally find Mr Right, or even Mr Alright/Visa Man, and be able to stay in Australia for good?
