Kangaroo Dreaming: An Australian Wildlife Odyssey by Edward Kanze
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 6 mb
Overview: Over nine adventurous months, Edward and Debbie Kanze drove an old station wagon 25,000 miles around Australia, spending nearly all that time in places where wildlife abounds.
The Kanzes’ odyssey began in Melbourne. Soon they were reeling from the cold, rocky mountains of Tasmania (home of the devil, who appears in these pages) via Ayers Rock and the central deserts to the steamy, crocodile-infested estuaries of the Northern Territory. The couple slept on the ground amid the world’s most dangerous serpents. They endured the seductive bonhomie of lotos-eating Australians and hob-knobbed with kangaroos, koalas, wombats, platypuses, giant monitor lizards, kookaburras, and more than 400 species of birds. They ran a gauntlet of epic hazards. All these adventures come alive in Kangaroo Dreaming, a humorous walkabout through the flora, fauna, geography, and history of the surreal over-the-rainbow place Australians call “Oz.”
Never before has an armchair traveler enjoyed such an engaging opportunity to explore the “Downunderworld,” a beautiful and sometimes dangerous land where the air is warm, the beer is cold, and the marsupials outnumber humans.
