Events, how people look and what they say are recorded faithfully and with master of observation Bill Bryson's wonderful facility for making you laugh out loud, there are plenty of reasons for doing so. His running commentary on a radio broadcast cricket match, a game about which he knows nothing, is brilliantly inventive. There's not a single actual word or expression associated with the game but the nuance is stunning. Spiky conversations with his English producer friend as they drive to Ayres Rock, the sighting of a rotary clothes-line in the depths of the outback, confrontations with receptionists and waiters, a beer-drinking man at the bar of the Nambucca telling him "Dining room's closed mate. The chef's crook. Must have ate some of his own cooking" and a full tuckerbag more, are entertainingly, albeit rather hastily, delivered by the reader. --Running time 3 hours

Book Description Audio Book (Cassette). Condition: Very Good. What greeted Bill Bryson on his visit Down Under (Australia) was something rather different. Australia is the driest, flattest, hottest, most infertile, and climatically aggressive f all the inhabited continents and still it teems with life - most of it quite deadly, in fact, Australia has more things that can kill you in a very nasty way than anywhere else.
