5.0 out of 5 stars A Wide Variety of Australian culture & history, 1 Jul 2008
By Allen Wayner "MovieFun Al" (Rockville, MD USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The author give us many short and lively factual bits on Australia's culture, history and natural features. He covers everyone from Paul Hogan (Crocodile Dundee movies) to Ned Kelly (Victorian-era hero/outlaw whose colorful life was told in 3 movies - one starring the late Heath Ledger). Kangaroos, deadly snakes & insects, fave sports like soccer and cricket, and the ancient aborigines are all featured in this armchair tour of the Outback country visited by Mark Twain in 1897.

3.0 out of 5 stars Funny and unusefull facts, 4 Nov 2008
By C. Herrador (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book because i am about to set up in Australia with my aussie boyfriend (i never been before). So i thought it will be a good training to learn a bit more about the Australian culture. My boyfriend was often really surprised because even though he is from Oz, he was not aware of a lot of things regarding his own country. The book relates about politics, history, sport, wildlife, cinema, giving lots of figures (not up-to-date unfortunately) so it is very diverse (which make it less boring to read). Also, it is quite easy to read as it is only short stories. Well i would say it is good books for no-Australian who are aiming to go down under and want to impress Aussie with knowing (pointless) things those themselves don't even know about! But It can be good fun!
