"In Australia, where the language spoken is English , there is the real possibility for the tourist to soak up just a little of the Australian culture," the authors declare.Graeme Newman, professor at SUNY, Albany and a native of Australia, and his daughter, Tamsin, provide "a personal guide on getting to know Australia and Australians...linking the things tourists like to do with the history and character of Australian people."With helpful tips on preparing for your trip, as well as suggestions for background reading before you go, their cheerful guide outlines the distinctive characters and main attractions of the major cities, and describes picturesque wine-growing, sheep-farming countryside. More adventurous travelers will be tempted to explore the arid outback -- and a town called Alice.
