Great travelogue of Australia. I actually couldn't breathe at one point I was laughing so hard after an episode in a park in greater Sidney. Bryson gets a little bogged down in some of the more remote areas of the country and the belly-laughs don't roll as quickly as in some of his other works (notably “A Walk in the Woods”), but on the whole an immensely entertaining and informative Australian journey. You'll learn things you never even though to ask about the country. And just as quickly forget most of them, as does the author.
