“To get the material in this book, Walkabout magazine sent the best Australian writers and photographers to every corner of the continent.
The result is one of the best collections of Australian non-fiction writing ever assembled, a lively, entertaining and stimulating portrait of the nation.
Walkabout’s writers look at the landscape and the people; the average Australian and the non-conformist; they yarn to old-timers and throw in a few yarns of their own.”
