Good reading for long journeys

RECOMMENDED READING FOR AUSTRALIA

As a Premier Aussie Specialist, this means I have been down under more times than you have had a hot dinner. There is only a hundred agents in the entire world with this qualification. Over the years, I compiled a list of good books to read on the long journey. I always give this list to clients I am sending down under. Enjoy reading one on the plane.

If you only get one, No.l. is good reading for the plane. It will help you locate Sydney when you get there, and the different convict settlements.

1. Fatal Shore by Robert Hughes - Great story giving you history of the convict settlement.

2. Tracks by Robyn Davidson - Story of a girl who spent 2 years on a camel crossing the Outback.

3. The Australians by Ross Terrill - Australia in the past and present

4. I, the Aboriginal by Douglas Lockwood - Good for the Northern Territory visit

5. The Song Lines by Bruce Chatwin - About Aboriginal culture

6. The Outback Lady by Melissa McCord - About a lady who took 2 years in the outback

interviewing stations

7. We of the Never Never by Aeneas Gunn - About the Northern Territory

8. My Place by Sally Morgan - Set in Western Australia, about Aboriginal families

9. A Town Like Alice by Nevil Shute - Great story about Alice Springs, Northern Territory

10. Kings in Grass Castles by Mary Durack - True story about a pioneer family in the

cattle business, Western Australia and the Northern Territory

I have enjoyed these books so much, I have read them more than once.

Safe travels
