In Search of Aussie Writeblrs

So I'm trying to get my first ever (completed) fantasy novel published. I have just done a final edit and now I am getting a friend/my mum to read it to help me find any mistakes and/or plot holes - yikes I'm nervous!

Gratitude

Patrons held their beer cans in polystyrene stubby holders, the regular drinkers keeping their own holders behind the bar. The regulars were mainly older white men, retirees, cattle station workers, council workers. They looked as if they spent their days in chains while eagles preyed on their livers. Their organs restored by night, they returned to the same barstools, faces slicked with sweat, to resume their stoic drinking. Their eyes glazed, their speech slurred, but they did not move from their barstools until, without flourish. it was time to stagger into the night.

Many readers of the explorers' journals see the hardships they endured and are enthralled by the finds of grassy plains, bountiful rivers and sites where great towns could be built; but by adjusting our perspective by only a few degrees we see a vastly different world from the same window.

If this is adoration, it will be my own mistake.
