"A new Aussie book of opposites that captures the real flavour of the Aussie way of life. Australia is a land of complete opposites, from the beach to the bush, and the rainforest to the desert. In this country down under, there are people who live in houses on stilts and those who live below the ground. There are daytime animals and those that emerge only in the night. There's are bushies and townies, jillaroos and jackaroos, the Melbourne Cup and the Camel Cup, the Henley on Todd regatta and the Sydney-Hobart race. Our climate, flora and fauna, landscape and lifestyle are bursting with charmingly quirky opposites that will fascinate readers of all ages."--Provided by publisher.
