Tells the tale of the adventures of a hitch-hiker and his girlfriend on their quest for the real Australia. As the couple hitch their way around, they encounter a cross-section of Aussie society. This work contains tales of some of the country's idiosyncratic characters, from the grizzled Aboriginal elder to an amphetamine-swallowing train driver.

Set against a backdrop of the real Australia - not 'as seen on TV'- "Thumbs Up Australia" is full of wonderful anecdotes and endearing tales of some of the country's most idiosyncratic characters, from the grizzled Aboriginal elder with his tales of dreamtime, to an amphetamine-swallowing road train driver. And at the end of their journey, it is ironically Katia who suggests thumbing a lift to the airport!
