It s the only island that is also a continent and the only continent that is also a country. It is the driest, flattest, hottest, most desiccated, infertile and climatically aggressive of all the inhabited continents and still it teems with life - a large proportion of it quite deadly. n fact, Australia has more things that can kill you in a very nasty way than anywhere else. This is a country where even the fluffiest of caterpillars can lay you out with a toxic nip, where seashells will not just sting you but a

Down Under..... for the discerning Up Overs
Great casual reading, particularly for Australians who may not have realised what a terribly dangerous country they live in. Should be included in any travel itinerary prescribed reading for international travellers.

Bill Bryson sums up his trip around Australia - fun!
