Bryson's travelogues are consistently entertaining, and this one's no exception - his trademark blend of dry wit and genuine affection for his subject is on full display here. And I'm absolutely stealing his description of cricket fans - "some of whom might even be awake and facing the right direction."

A lighthearted history of Australia with a few poignant moments thrown in.
Another brilliant Bryson read. So well-written and engaging--so humorous & informative too! OK--now I'm hankering to travel "Down Under" myself and to especially take the India-Pacific Railway across the bottom of this intriguing country & continent.

This is one of the funniest travel books I've ever read.
