No Worries: Journey Through Australia

No Worries: Journey Through Australia

by Mark Mc Crum (Author)

Synopsis

Knowing nothing of Australia except the lager-ad cliches of sun and surf, ockers and sheilas, kangaroos and didgeridoos, Mark McCrum arrives Down Under. Hitching, flying, by Greyhound and by train, he makes his picaresque way around the vast brown land. From royalist hippies to republican cattle-ranchers, from Queensland jillaroos to Indo-Chinese immigrants, from Perth millionaires to desert Aboriginals, he meets modern Aussies of every kind. 'Infused with the spirit of Australia: breezy, accepting, humorous' The Times
