I'm Australian and I found this book fascinating. He unlocked so many parts of Oz that I'd never heard of or been to. It was great. Plus his sense of humor made it all the more fun to read.

I love Bill Bryson's books and am currently reading A Short History of Almost Everything.

Thank you Alice, for this RABCK

I really enjoyed this book and read most of it with a smile on my face. There were a few things which he got wrong and I was tempted to write to the editors and put them right - but figured that perhaps he had bent the truth a little to make for a good story.- something we are all guilty of at times.

My favourite line:

"A bluebottle," she explained and pointed to a small jellyfish of the type (as I later learned from browsing through a fat book titled, if I recall, Things That Will Kill You Horridly in Australia: Volume 19) known elsewhere as a Portuguese man-of-war. [Page 32]

Given to a friend who will be flying out to Wales in about a week. Hopefully, she will release this book there after she has read it.
