Back to Bool Bool (1931) is a novel by Australian writer Miles Franklin. It was originally published under the author's pseudonym "Brent of Bin Bin".
While not a sequel to the earlier "Brent of Bin Bin" novels, this book's setting is again in the Monaro/Murrumbidgee area of New South Wales, though the time period is now the late 1920s.
Several members of the Poole-Mazere-Healey-Breenan clan are returning to Australia, and their home town of Book Book, by sea. The novel follows the various characters as they return to life in Australia and provides a commentary on the differences between Australian and European life.
