Book excerpt: A time-killer about a ridiculously small continent and a terrifyingly large country that was definitely not discovered by James Cook in 1788, but by a completely unknown backpacker some two and a half centuries later. Connect the dots in this low-key, low-budget ride through space and time where nothing is really what it seems and everything isn’t what it says it is. * Come with me on a 16,000-kilometre journey across the continent as well as tens, hundreds, thousands of years back in time * Conquer the continent on paper. You will see that the paid attractions are not always the best ones, read about crime stories, criminal plots and murder cases, such as those about missing tourists and underbelly celebs, learn about history of boom and bust industries like pearling in Broome, diamonds on Lake Argyle, opals in Coober Pedy, gold in Victoria and NSW. * Explore difficult relations between European settlers and indigenous Aboriginal population and why modern Australia cherry-picks alternative ways to explain its history * See the fun side and pitfalls of seasonal work in the tropics of Western Australia, read about encounters with creatures such as spiders, crocodiles, and why you don't need to panic * Get great tips for photography spots, explore the whims of extreme whether such as monsoon rain, floods, snow, hail, and learn how to anticipate or avoid them. * Visit some of the best Australian summits like Mount Bruce, Mt Nameless, Mt Sonder, St Mary’s Peak, Mt Arapiles, Mt Stapylton, Mt Kosciuszko and learning interesting facts about them * Learn how a small conventional but well-prepared car can become priceless in overcoming harsh Australian conditions and make the travels efficient and fun * See both the humorous and serious sides of Australia and generally get a fresh perspective on a continent that is still full of mysteries * As a bonus, the book contains illustrated maps, Google map links to places mentioned, images as well as the route, estimated travel budget and travel tips * Don't wait. AUSTRALIA WANTS TO BE DISCOVERED AGAIN.

Download or read book Stark written by Ben Elton and published by Random House. This book was released on 2008-12-26 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stark is a secret consortium with more money than God, and the social conscience of a dog on a croquet lawn. What's more, it knows the Earth is dying. Deep in Western Australia where the Aboriginals used to milk the trees, a planet-sized plot is taking shape. Some green freaks pick up the scent: a pommie poseur; a brain-fried Vietnam vet; Aboriginals who have lost their land...not much against a conspiracy that controls society. But EcoAction isn't in society: it just lives in the same place, along with the cockroaches. If you're facing the richest and most disgusting scheme in history, you have to do more than stick up two fingers and say 'peace'.

Download or read book White Man in a Hole written by Rena Briand and published by Melbourne : Phuong-Hoang Press. This book was released on 1971 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Incredible as it may seem, names and events in this book are factual - which makes it at once an important documentary and excellent entertainment. The almost-legendary Coober Pedy opal fields attract and create characters. Situated in the arid peneplain of Stuart Ranges, people there live underground to escape flies, dust and extreme temperatures. They may live but inches away from the opal they so desperately seek and for which they endure considerable hardships. Water is rationed, food expensive, violence and robberies are almost a way of life, since Coober Pedy is a well-known haunt for criminals and tribal outcasts. Gambling and prostitution thrive. Men disappear mysteriously. Tribal killings baffle the authorities. Frank and hard hitting, Rena Briand has made no attempt to cover up her observations. Though this book has an expert condensation covering opal and its mining, it differs vastly from other works on the subject. Containing glimpses of station life, dinfo hunting, prospecting in the wilderness and race meetings in the desert, it is a first-class portrait of Australian outback. The characteristics which set Coober Pedy apart will not last much longer, as the outside world is slowly overtaking it; but with keen perception the author has caught those under the spell of opal fever today, and hilarious anecdotes contribute to make this an extremely readable and colourful book.
