  I have read everything that Bill Bryson has written, and he has never once failed to entertain me, but this book is one of his very best. I lost track of how many times I laughed out loud, but I also walked away with a great deal of knowledge that I didn't possess when I began reading it. I discovered that I knew so very little about Australia and that what I learned from Bryson's "walkabout" was absolutely fascinating. I got to know a great deal more about Australian geography, culture, wildlife and especially history, the relating of which was at times quite poignant. As with all of this author's works, it was exceptionally witty and thought-provoking. These days, It's hard to find books that are of at least as high a quality as the PR they are afforded, and thus, this one is a rare treat.
