male-bonding in Australian fiction?

"But still, male bonding is relatively frequent in Am Lit, repressively
erotic (as Fiedler thinks) or not (as we think). Or is this a matter
of dispute too?"

Not in dispute, I think we might agree...and I'm not venturing into the territory, so to speak, but just wondering trivially if Australia has a lot of fiction with 'male bonding"....Carey is Australian.
