"What the indefatigable, keenly observant Bryson did a few years
back for the Applachian Trail with A Walk in the Woods... he does
now for the generally undiscovered land Down Under."
—Chicago Tribune
"Vastly entertaining... If there is one book with which to get
oriented before departure or en route to Australia, this is
it."
—New York Times
