Bring me Sunshine

“Before us lay a road into no man’s land–filled with rivers, gorges and vast tracts of open plains. Far on the horizon, a shimmering haze gave few clues to what lay beyond, as the tropical sun beat down on a parched land, begging for rain. After cranking the air conditioning, I called out a warning to the kids to watch out for crocodiles, snakes and kangaroos. We were heading into the wild!” Join travel writer Alistair McGuinness as he embarks on more bite-sized adventures across Australia, including a campervan trip from Sydney to the hipster paradise of Byron Bay. Armed with a curious nature and a desire to enjoy each new experience, these travels also lead him into the wilds, foraging for bush tucker with an Aboriginal guide, before diving into the crystal-clear waters of Ningaloo Reef. Each new adventure offers something different, from the vast iron ore mines of the Pilbara to the wild beauty of Monkey Mia, famed for its bottle-nosed dolphins. Along the way, Alistair encounters nomads, tourists and friendly locals, each with a tale to tell about their travels in Australia. If you enjoy travel stories, this fun-filled memoir will have you reaching for a map of Australia and planning your own adventures as you immerse yourself in the wonders of a land Down Under. With each turn of the page, you’ll be transported to a place where the beers are cold, the days are sunny, and the open road stretches forever.
