A Taste of Australia

The shark circled, Alistair swam frantically towards safety and his family waved excitedly from the shore, oblivious to the danger. While scrambling onto the beach, he realised that Australia was proving to be an exciting country. Months earlier, the migration seminars had promised endless summers, balmy evenings and a laid-back lifestyle. But what is it really like? Thirteen years after arriving Down Under, Alistair has written a collection of short stories about living, working and travelling in Australia. During this time he has been on Walkabout with Aboriginals, kayaked alongside dolphins and learnt to catch his supper from the Indian Ocean. From the dizzy heights of Sydney Harbour Bridge to the scorched Outback, the stories capture the unique way of life that has made Australia a must-see destination.
