Return to Oz
by John Brown
Return to Oz, details the experiences of a young pom and the way he adapts to his new life style `Down-Under'; his untimely return to the UK, and how as a mature adult, he makes his long awaited voyage of re-discovery ! For those looking for an alternative to Bill Bryson's 'Down Under' travel writing, we can recommend John Brown's 'Return To Oz'. John went to Australia originally in the 60's, his parents joined the '£10 pom' scheme, then came back to the UK when he was in his late teens. The book is about his recent return to Oz, and seeing places he'd seen from his youth and how they'd changed. It focuses on a few major places (Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney), but it also comments on some suburban areas. You feel you know a little more about Australia after you've read it....Click for more details
