 Good Ol' Aussie Sense Of Hunor February 15, 2008
Bryson really captures the essence of Australia by detailing his experiences and interactions in different places throughout the country. Using humor or strange conversations, he conveys the attitude and friendly personalities of the the Aussies. While spending long passages describing too many historical details that he might only find interesting, he dives deep into the culture and history of a country most people know nothing about. Seeing as I just moved here, this introduction was perfect to welcoming me here. :)
Good Laughs February 12, 2008
This funny account of travel in Australia isn't necessarily the greatest of Bryson's works, but it is worth a read! You will find it entertaining, with his usual piercing, sarcastic, and witty insight.

Funny, funny. I want to travel to Australia during retirement. Cannot wait to go!
LOL January 2, 2008
I was given this book while visiting Sydney. The title of the book in AUS is "Down Under" I guess they didn't want to offend anyone. Anyhow, I spent many days laughing out loud while reading this book....absolutely brilliant!

Given to my for Christmas. One of the best travel stories I've ever read. I'm looking forward to reading more of his books.
