A raucously comic Australian novel rooted in the larrikin tradition, "Rough Wallaby" takes the infamous Fine Cotton horse-switching scandal as its springboard, spinning a burlesque yarn around a cast of knockabout characters caught up in an audacious racing scam where one horse is substituted for another, each of them chasing dreams that curdle the moment they arrive, which is precisely what McDonald signals in the title itself: rough wallaby is what you get when your dreams come true, only nobody said you were going to like it.
