Describe the lounge room at the home of Aunt Mandy and Uncle Joe.

In a particularly vividly-drawn scene, Amal tells the reader about the incredible volume of Australia-themed memorabilia crowding the lounge room at the home of her Aunt Mandy and Uncle Joe. The lounge room's decor reflects the couple's belief that, as Uncle Joe says at one point, now that they all live in Australia, they "should assimilate and act like Australians" (186).
