In this book, Bill Bryson describes his travels by railway and car throughout Australia, his conversations with people in all walks of life about the history, geography, unusual plants and animals of the country, and his wry impressions of the life, culture and amenities (or lack thereof) in each locality. In other countries, including Britain, the book was titled Down Under. The title is taken from the famous Australian poem, "My Country". In a Sunburned Country is the 2000 travelogue book about Australia written by best-selling travel writer Bill Bryson. ![]()
