From the back cover:
Despite the fact that Australai harbors more things that can kill you in extremely nasty ways than anywhere else, including sharks, crocodiles, snames, even rep-tides and deserts, Bill Bryson adores the place, and he takes his readers on a rollicking ride far beyond the tourist path. Wherever he goes he finds Australians who are cheerful, extroverted, and unfailingly obliging, and these beaming products of a land with clean, safe cities, cold beer, and constant shine fill the pages of this wonderful book. Australia is an immense and fortunate land and it has found in Bill Bryson its perfect guide.

I picked this up at the November BookCrossing Meetup.
Sending to Aramena because it was on her wishlist.
Arrived yesterday but I didn't open the mail until this morning. Thanks so much for this. I really enjoyed the previous Bryson book I read.
