It's also a very easy and entertaining read too. I loved the pictures. Well, to be honest, I drooled over them and they brought the way of life off the page. The book is a glorious mixture of autobiography (no - I'm not going to tell you what happens to them, you'll have to read the book), travelogue and life coaching. This is a man who must feel very glad that he was made redundant when the Vauxhall car plant in Luton closed. I'd like to thank him for sending a copy of the book to the Bookbag.
If you haven't read [[Half a World Away: Searching for a Gap Year Travel Adventure by Alistair McGuinness|Half a World Away: Searching for a Gap Year Travel Adventure]] I'm sure that you'd enjoy it if ''Surviving the Move to a Land Down Under'' appeals to you. For some fiction set in Western Australia, we think you might like [[Red Dog by Louis de Bernieres]]. For the story of someone else who came to Australia, this time from India, try [[Lion: A Long Way Home by Saroo Brierley]].
