In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson

Delightful travelogue and introduction to Australia that convincingly conveys the author's delight with Australia, its vastness, "what a preposterously outsized country this was", and its many unusual sights. He extols its diverse attributes even as he acknowledges its relative anonymity on the world stage. Several exploratory visits encompassing lengthy drives around this vast island enable him to knowledgeably describe this incredible country. Leavened with humor, the narrative moves at a pleasant pace that keeps the reader ever engaged.
