interesting read

I read "Walk in the Woods" years ago and think of it quite often. This one is just as good.

travelling to the land down under

This book was a great way to see parts of Australia that one would probably not be able to visit on a tour. I love the way that Bill Bryson writes!

Funny and interesting!

My husband and I fought over this book while actually traveling through Australia Nov 2006. We laughed at his funny experiences and loved the history woven into the stories. We went to many of the same places that Bryson visited and had the same impressions. We just loved this book! It is especially wonderful to read it while you are there experiencing the magic of this amazing country. We went all over Eastern Australia and the Outback and then went to NZ. Sorry to say, NZ was pretty boring after Australia! Now we are reading Neither Here or There (even funnier) and A Short History of Nearly Everything. E Lamberson

The real Australia

I have always been facinated by Australia. This book fed that fire and taught me more than I expected. This is an easy to read and entertaining book. I expect even those who haven't really even thought about the country would find themselves suprised by how much they enjoy this book.

It is basically a travel diary - covering a lot of area of a very large continent. Bryson finds the people and things that make Australia what it is. He even includes some poinent social commentary about the indegenous people.

I enjoyed this book very much, and highly suggest you take a look.

Very Entertaining

I would strongly recommend this book to anyone planning a trip to Australia and to anyone who has spent time there as we have. Highly accurate and extremely funny. Bryson is a very readable author. This is the 5th book of his for me and maybe his best.
