It is the driest, flattest, hottest, most infertile and climatically aggressive of all the inhabited continents and still Australia teems with life — a large portion of it quite deadly. In fact, Australia has more things that can kill you in a very nasty way than anywhere else.
Ignoring such dangers — and yet curiously obsessed by them — Bill Bryson journeyed to Australia and promptly fell in love with the country. And who can blame him?

Got the book from motherof11, because I used to live in Australia and I would like the humor of this book
Incredibly stupid of me! I completely forgot to journal this wonderful book!
Thank you so much, ApoloniaX, for this hilarious book! I couldn't stop laughing! And it's also very informative! Altogether a great read!
I lent my son (mslourens) this book, but I definitely want it back, because this is the sort of book you want to read again!

The book's back. If it's OK with you, I would like to put it in my permanent collection.
