In a Sunburned Country
Description
In Australia, apparently,
A-bombs go off unnoticed, prime ministers disappear into the surf, and cheery citizens coexist with the world's deadliest creatures: toxic caterpillars, aggressive seashells, crocodiles, sharks, snakes and the dreaded box jellyfish. Bryson discovers this and much more in his trek across sunbaked deserts and up endless coastlines, crisscrossing the "under-discovered" Down Under in search of the odd, the little known, the one-of-a-kind and the just plain weird.

Reviews
"Bill Bryson is...an artist who needs a big canvas. Australia has provided this. He's painted a masterpiece in travel literature." -- The Globe and Mail
