Category : Australia
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
We all say it: "I'd love to retire young." Former Kiwi firefighters Anne and John Barry did just that. They worked and saved hard and then, fit and ready for fun, sold everything when they were in their late 40s and took to the road in their custom-designed luxury bus. Now in their 50s, they have recently been giving the Ockers a taste of Kiwi, having adventures all over the lucky country and playing golf wherever they go. And, as Anne Barry's highly entertaining collection of true stories shows, there's nothing these two won't try, even if the results can be unexpected, to say the least. Wherever the Barry's go, there is humour and action in spades. This hilarious book will both inspire you and give you the best laugh you've had in ages.

In a Sunburned Country
Author: Bill Bryson
Publisher: Anchor Canada
ISBN: 0385674538
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
Deliciously funny, fact-filled and adventurous, In a Sunburned Country takes us on a grand tour of Australia. It's a place where interesting things happen all the time, from a Prime Minister lost — yes, lost — while swimming at sea, to Japanese cult members who may (entirely unnoticed) have set off an atomic bomb on their 500,000 acre property in the great western desert. Australia is the only island that is also a continent, and the only continent that is also a country. Its aboriginal people, a remote and mysterious race with a tragic history, have made it their home for millennia. And despite the fact that it is the most desiccated, infertile and climatically aggressive of all inhabited continents, it teems with life. In fact, Australia has more things that can kill you in extremely nasty ways than anywhere else: sharks, crocodiles, the planet's ten most deadly poisonous snakes, fluffy yet toxic caterpillars, sea shells that actually attack you, and the unbelievable box jellyfish (don't ask). The dangerous riptides of the sea and the sun-baked wastes of the outback both lie in wait for the unwary. Australia is an immense and fortunate land, and it has found in Bill Bryson its perfect guide. In a Sunburned Country offers the best of all possible introductions to what may well be the best of all possible nations. Even with those jellyfish.

Australia for Women
Author: Susan Hawthorne
Publisher: Spinifex Press
ISBN: 9781875559275
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
Australia is a land full of opportunities, but where can you go to find the things that matter to women? This book is a guide to the land as well as the diverse culture of women. Women's culture in Australia goes back more than 40,000 years and is a rich mosaic of story, art and music. On the top of this has come the culture of the past 200 years: from the British convicts, from China, from the Pacific, from the newer waves of migration and from the women's movement. This is reflected in literature, theatre, the visual arts, music, circuses and dance. Rural and urban women describe the places they know and love, they also describe their histories and show something of what lies behind a first impression. Contributors featured include: Oodgeroo Noonuccal, Faith Bandler, Portia Robinson, Elizabeth Jolley, Sara Dowse, Janine Haines, Dale Spender, Ruby Langford Ginibi, Kate Llewellyn, and Finola Moorhead.
