If you’ve ever thought about travelling to Australia or moving there for any reason, look before you leap! Do your homework first! Too many people go to Oz misguided fooled by popular misconceptions. Australia teaches very harsh lessons to people like that. And once your there, it has ways of trapping you into its system, like a giant spiders web.
Australia is hyped-up and dumbed-down more than anywhere else. Hence this book aims to bust the myths and stereotypes for once and for all. It tells you what life down under is really like. This is for people who want to be better informed than average tourists or backpackers.
Australia is too easily promoted as a sunny paradise where apparently everyone’s better off than anywhere else, with no worries and a care-free outlook on life. This perception has always been misleading, and by now it is truly outdated. Nonetheless, it is perpetuated by common Aussie expressions like the lucky country, fair go, and she’ll be right, mate.
This book tells you the facts: Written by an author and poet who was born and bred in Oz, and who’s had to battle there as hard as anyone.
Before you talk to travel-agents, learn from someone who’s travelled!
