The Curious Letters of Mervyn Mudal by Neville Mills Book Summary

Mr and Mrs Mudal have found life quite puzzling since their move to the Sunshine Coast. Having been farmers in Goondiwindi for most of their lives, their new more sophisticated life has been a challenge. Mervyn is not one to sit back and wonder, so he becomes a prolific letter writer. His letters explain the problems he and Mrs Mudal are experiencing and he demands explanations. He doesn’t waste time by writing to employees; all his complaints and queries are addressed to government heads, chiefs of industry, prominent celebrities and sporting personalities.

He asks the Minister of Health whether the Noosa roundabouts may be causing the Mudals’ Insomnia. He suggests that his mother-in-law be employed to swim up and down Loch Ness for the tourists. He gives Michael Clarke advice on sledging and questions how many books he can download before his Kindle becomes too heavy to carry. He inquires whether Colonic Irrigation might be the best garden watering system and presents the Minister of Arts with some of his poetry, offering to become Australia’s first Poet Laureate.
