Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. A time-killer about a ridiculously small continent and a terrifyingly large country that was definitely not discovered by James Cook in 1788, but by a completely unknown backpacker some two and a half centuries later. Connect the dots in this low-key, low-budget ride through space and time where nothing is really what it seems and everything isn't what it says it is.* Come with me on a 16,000-kilometre journey across the continent as well as tens, hundreds, thousands of years back in time* Conquer the continent on paper. You will see that the paid attractions are not always the best ones, read about crime stories, criminal plots and murder cases, such as those about missing tourists and underbelly celebs, learn about history of boom and bust industries like pearling in Broome, diamonds on Lake Argyle, opals in Coober Pedy, gold in Victoria and NSW.* Explore difficult relations between European settlers and indigenous Aboriginal population and why modern Australia cherry-picks alternative ways to explain its history* See the fun side and pitfalls of seasonal work in the tropics of Western Australia, read about encounters with creatures such as spiders, crocodiles, and why you don't need to panic* Get great tips for photography spots, explore the whims of extreme whether such as monsoon rain, floods, snow, hail, and learn how to anticipate or avoid them.* Visit some of the best Australian summits like Mount Bruce, Mt Nameless, Mt Sonder, St Mary's Peak, Mt Arapiles, Mt Stapylton, Mt Kosciuszko and learning interesting facts about them* Learn how a small conventional but well-prepared car can become priceless in overcoming harsh Australian conditions and make the travels efficient and fun* See both the humorous and serious sides of Australia and generally get a fresh perspective on a continent that is still full of mysteries* As a bonus, the book contains illustrated maps, Google map links to places mentioned, images as well as the route, estimated travel budget and travel tips* Don't wait.
