DOWN UNDER by Bill Bryson (First Edition)

Australia is a country that exists on a vast scale.  It is the world's sixth largest country and its largest island.  It's the only island that is also a continent and the only continent that is also a country.  It is the driest, flattest, hottest, most desiccated, infertile and climatically aggressive of all the inhabited continents, and yet it still teems with life - a large proportion of it quite deadly.

This book chronicles Bill Bryson's travels around Australia.

Hard cover.  The book is in excellent condition.  The dust jacket shows minor scuffing to the edges and at the spine.
