One for the Road: An Outback Adventure by Tony Horwitz
3.0
I pulled this off my unread shelf thinking I had seen it on the wishlist of an attendee at the upcoming 2020 BookCrossing Convention in Gold Coast. When I checked again, I didn't find it. But since this is a book about visiting Australia, it will likely make the trip with me anyway.
I have acquired a new appreciation for the sanity and mild-mannered company of my Aussie friends after reading this tour of the hardscrabble and hard-drinking sections of the country/continent. This tour of Australia was interesting, but not always pleasant. I think the best part was Broome, which I don't know if anyone has ever said about Australia. This book may be more than 20 years old, but I don't know if it is outdated at all -- guess I will find out in a few months.
