This book chronicles my 6-month backpacking and working trip around Australia, which has been a lifelong ambition of mine since moving to Australia in 1996. Eventually becoming a citizen of Australia. This form of down-to-earth adventure travel provides a unique view on the country landscape as well as the travelers from other countries who participate in this type of adventure. I hope that when people read this book about my voyage, they will be as excited as I was and realize that everyone, regardless of age, can have a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
