The Long Weekend is a collection of six short stories by Australian author, Judy Nunn.

The Long Weekend: Five women who work together decide to spend the long weekend in a shack in the bush. This is to be a complete getaway from everyday life with all electonic devices left at home. However all does not go as planned.

The Wardrobe: When Nancy purchases a dilapidated terrace house she makes a discovery that changes her life.

The Otto Bin Empire: Clive's Story: This is the first of a proposed collection of short stories about a group of homeless people who meet regularly near a collection of rubbish bins and become friends.

Changes: Jackie looks back at the changes she has encountered in her life over sixty-five years.

The House on Hill Street: Set in a quiet suburban street in Tasmania the local residents are not prepared for the horrors that are about to occur.

Just South of Rome: This is the longest story in the book. When Jane Precott decides to explore Italy she ends up at a strange villa / hotel. Her experiences are not all positive however events occur that change her attitudes to life.

At the end of each short story Judy Nunn writes about what prompted her to write  the story.
