Australia, officially the Commonwealth of Australia, is the only country that has a whole continent to itself. Although it is world-famous for its natural wonders and wide open spaces, its beaches, deserts, "the bush", and "the Outback", Australia is actually one of the world's most highly urbanised countries with vibrant, cosmopolitan cities such as Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, and Perth.

Tim Bowden takes us on one of the world's greatest road trips, from Australia's east coast to the Top End and into the heart of the outback. Told with wry humor, an infectious enthusiasm for history, and a nose for finding great stories, Tim lays bare the hardships of bush life and celebrates the joys and freedoms of being on the road.

I 1789 flygtede ni fanger sammen med to børn fra den engelske straffekoloni i Australien med kurs mod Hollandsk Ostindien.

Journalist og eventyrer Arne Falk-Rønne er rejst i kølvandet på de undvegne fanger og skildrer det liv, de flygtede fra, og den rejse, som ventede dem. Disse 11 mennesker blev de eneste, der nogensinde overlevede en flugt fra den frygtede straffekoloni i de 70 år, den eksisterede.

This charming account of the voyage of two men in a small boat half way round the world from Plymouth to New Zealand in 1953 is a rare insight into a time, not long ago, when sailors had no GPS, electronics, radio or any of the mod cons that we take for granted today. Without lifejacket or a life raft, they 'just took what came along', hand steering all the way, navigating by sextant, hand-cranking their engine and using oil lamps for light at night and for navigation. Sailors will be staggered how primitive conditions were only a few decades ago, even though it was the norm at the time.
