[Humorous Travel Memoirs 03] • Kamikaze Kangaroos!

Tony James Slater knew nothing about Australia.

Except for the fact that he’d just arrived there.

The stage is set for an outrageous adventure: three people, one van, on an epic, 20,000 mile road trip around Australia.

What could possibly go wrong?

Of course, the van – nicknamed ‘Rusty’ – is a crumbling wreck, held together by the world’s most garish paint job.

They’re criss-crossing the continent through some of the most inhospitable land on the planet – the infamous Aussie Outback.

And isn’t there something about Australian animals being… well, you know, kind of dangerous?

Unprepared, under-qualified and hopelessly inept, Tony battles gigantic pumpkins, mechanical mishaps and suicidal kangaroos, armed only with a thong and a sense of humour.

His companions struggle to keep him safe whilst climbing in drag, snowboarding off cliffs, and hiking hundreds of miles through the bush.

One thing’s for sure; this ‘adventure of a lifetime’ – if they survive it – is something they’re never going to forget.

So, scull those stubbies!

Grab your galahs!

And put down that platypus.

LOOK OUT, AUSTRALIA!

There’s an idiot coming…
