Summary:
Memoir of the author's 1995 travels throughout Australia, revised in 2010 and 2011.
The story of Australia through the eyes of a young Irishman in his 1978 Ford Falcon. Paul Martin extended a one-year working holiday visa into thirty months, and lived the colorful, precarious, and occasionally solitary life of a 'backpacker' in various locations throughout Australia. He traveled (and slept) in Bertha, alone, encountering many fascinating characters and much of Australia's hidden history and landscape. "In this lighthearted travel memoir with a touch of history, Martin wittily recounts long, hot drives; stormy nights; countless bars; mechanical failures; and the generosity of strangers."-Booklist.
