Didn't see everything, but saw amazing sights. The Australian people are so welcoming and friendly. Bill Bryson hits it right on the head I think. I just read a fairly new one of his called At Home which is a roaming history of (what else) the home. I have read almost all of his work and can say a Bryson book will never let you down. anniebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17728598854622972187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-42508133747845971832012-11-20T08:02:13.741-05:002012-11-20T08:02:13.741-05:00I'm with Jenners--I enjoyed this book, but his...I'm with Jenners--I enjoyed this book, but his descriptions of some of the dangers (I remember a spider, and sharks) were pretty harrowing.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01374498643286099244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-50171155680637881342012-11-20T06:45:58.575-05:002012-11-20T06:45:58.575-05:00Love Bryson and he travel books are just awesome.Love Bryson and he travel books are just awesome.(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-83574120836538686122012-11-20T06:35:29.085-05:002012-11-20T06:35:29.085-05:00I adore Bryson!!

I liked how he recounted what he did in Canberra - which amounted to nothing much because there is nothing much there. Make sure you make it to Australia one day, Ill show you around Sydney :-)Rebecca Chapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14144719070318640603noreply@blogger.com
