Australia A Traveler's Literary Companion
edited by Robert Ross

From the Traveler's Literary Companions series.

Journey down under in the company of Australia's finest writers. From stories of survival in the bush to vacationing at the beach, from immigrants adjusting to the new land to aboriginal displacement to the city, these twenty-five enthralling stories allow the reader to cover this large continent in a most imaginative way.

Ranging from the colonial period to contemporary Australia, these stories invoke the alluring scent of gum trees, the exotic kangaroos and dingoes, the busy city streets of Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, and the vast and mysterious outback, as well as some unforgettable Australian characters and their voices.

"As a traveler's companion, or as a teaching text, this collection offers the reader a valuable understanding of Australia and its long and vibrant tradition of short story writing."
--Antipodes: A North American Journal of Australian Literature
