Book excerpt: No one could have planned for this... Lara Carson left her family and boyfriend Flynn eighteen years ago without a word to anyone. Why has no one heard from her since? Does it mean anything that she's suddenly reappeared in Bath just in time for her ex–best friend Evie's wedding? And what about Flynn? Even the most eagle–eyed observer can't tell whether he's happy to see her, or just stunned. While secrets pile up on secrets, and the gossip mill wings into high gear, the brand–new life Lara's searching for becomes ever more elusive. There's a lot of catching up for everyone to do, and Lara's return is going to be anything but a walk in the park.

Download or read book A Long Way Walkin in Australia written by Tom Hayllar and published by BalboaPress. This book was released on 2014-02-11 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tom Hayllar is a teacher, writer, bushwalker, caver, and adventurer. He has climbed inaccessible mountains in New Guinea, explored remote cave systems in New Guinea and the Philippines, walked across isolated Himalayan and Nepalese high country, and trekked lonely stretches of Alaska. In 1975 he was the first person to walk the 11,829 kilometer journey around Australia, and three years later he became the first person to traverse Australia on foot along its widest point from Cape Byron to Steep Point. Tom Hayllar just loves to walk, but the journeys are enriched by the characters, landscapes, and even the hardships experienced along the way. Here is how and why it was a long way walkin in 1985 when he made the diagonal journey walking from Wilsons Promontory by the Tasman to where the Timor Sea laps the cliffs of the Northern Kimberley. This walk, like his other long distance walks in Australia, is authenticated by the Guiness Book of Records.
Download or read book A Long Walk in the Australian Bush written by William J. Lines and published by UNSW Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One wet and blooming spring William J. Lines and an American companion undertook a 400-mile walk of the Bibbulmun trail of southwestern Australia. In this fascinating chronicle of the journey Lines draws on conservationist philosophy and his own observations to explore human interaction -- Aboriginal and white, farming and industrial, private and government -- with the Australian environment. The lessons that arise in the course of the book have universal application. A Long Walk in the Australian Bush reveals at dose range the devastation of the great temperate eucalypt forests while interweaving stories about forestry, mining, science, economics, conservation, and language, converging on the themes of nature, reality, objectivity, and understanding. A century of exploitation by politicians, loggers, and developers is described alongside personal experience and a strong sense of place. Lines contrasts the knowledge, wisdom, myths, and superstitions of the ancients -- including the Greeks and the Nyungar, the original inhabitants of the western Australian forest -- with contemporary human values. Extrapolating from his first-hand observations of ecological damage, he condemns the prevailing policies of extracting the maximum resource from nature, regardless of the cost. These policies are not unique to Australia. In fact, Lines writes, the approach to forestry that prevails in Western Australia has been borrowed from the United States Forest Service. With passion and immediacy, A Long Walk in the Australian Bush draws connections between the history, use, and abuse of Western Australia's forests and the use and abuse of the planet.

Download or read book The Long Way Round written by John Nesling and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australia as post World War 2 English emigrants embarking under an Australian government subsidised plan to populate the country. It a was time when there were jobs for anyone anywhere throughout the length and breadth of Australia, thus making it possible to travel, work and explore during a more innocent time in a land climatically and socially conducive to such idyllic possibilities. The period covered is 16 years, from 1954 to 1970, of which five years are spent in New Zealand. Throughout this time children are born and a young family evolves. Many emigrants simply settled around the major cities for no other apparent reason than that it was where they had disembarked. For some this was traumatic and sometimes tragic. The book attempts – however briefly - to address such themes and the themes of emigrants in general. As the Vietnam War emerges an attempt is made to define Australia’s political choices in relation to her geographical environment. Ostensibly written for family and friends, the story strives towards a wider audience, but is entirely biographical and factual, except where a few forgotten names – very few – have been substituted with others.

Many of these walks are among the world’s most iconic. Trail descriptions are richly illustrated with color photographs and maps.
