On the Wallaby Track

Think Aussies speak English? Think again! Between the strong accent, Aussie slang, Aboriginal words that have become a common part of speech, and words garnered from their United Kingdom-based history, understanding Australian English can be a challenge. After Laine Cunningham spent six months camping alone in the Outback, she wrote this book to help other travelers make the most of their vacations. On the Wallaby Track contains most of what you'll need to eat, sleep, and survive in the beautiful and astonishing country. And you won't have to spend six months figuring it out! Many words and phrases are used in quotes from award-winning novels and nonfiction books by the same author. Enjoy this book, and you will enjoy more of your time Down Under. On the Wallaby Track is part of a series that offers fun and fascinating information to travelers. Other titles include Woman Alone, a warm and funny memoir about her six-month journey through the Outback; 18,000 Miles, a travel guide packed with practical tips; and Fairy Bread and Bush Tucker: Surviving a Gastronomical Adventure in Australia (With Recipes).
