Girt By Dirt: An Australian Adventure

Girt by Dirt: An Australian Adventure will take you on a light-hearted and informative 35,000-kilometre journey around Australia. It follows the travels of two mates from Sydney, Australia, Phil and Glen, who spent five months on a trip of a lifetime in a four-wheel-drive. The trip started in Sydney and followed a clockwise route around the country. While a lot of thought went into the general route, most of our planning was on the fly, depending on advice from fellow travelers, last minute research, local knowledge or just how we felt at the time. We didn’t go too far off the beaten track, and mixed up accommodation with camping, on-site vans and budget accommodation. Coverage of the country is comprehensive, with a humorous balance of personal experiences, geographical and sociological interpretation, and historical insights. It will appeal to the armchair traveler, the travel professional or anyone considering or planning a trip to regional Australia. I hope this inspires you to see more of this amazing and diverse country, or at least teaches you a little about it, with a few laughs on the way.Read more
