Publisher's Synopsis
This is the road guide that every home and glovebox needs. It should be in the bottom drawer of the bedside table in every roadside motel. It's perfect for those long meandering drives around this great country. For starters, there are no maps. You have to love that. Greg Appel combines memoir, a bunch of history and all sorts of weird info - some, you almost certainly don't need, and some that might be handy. And even if it's not, it's a great rambling discursive read. There are some famous people and musicians and writers in there and Greg and his family. There's lots and lots of classic Australian tourist 'n' travel memorabilia, tips on accommodation and eating options and places to see. Huge slabs of it is hysterically funny and some of it - hell - it's indispensably informative. The favourite travel book of this or any other year.
