Description

"It was as if I had privately discovered life on another planet, or a parallel universe where life was at once recognisably similar but entirely different." Bill went to Australia and fell in love with the country. The people are cheerful, extrovert and obliging; their cities are safe and nearly always built on water; the food is excellent; the beer is cold and the sun nearly always shines. Life does not get much better than this.
