Take a journey of discovery, region by region through every Australian state and territory, and see the countryside unfold as you read. Or better still, take this book with you as an invaluable guide when you travel.
Among the over 200 entries you will find: Farmers who raise everything from quail to American bison; A micro-climate that allows tropical fruit to flourish in southern NSW; Two people who collect pure rainwater at opposite ends of eastern Australia then bottle and sell it; The country's fledgling super-gourmet industries of truffles and saffron; Where to find ocean fish raised naturally, many kilometres inland.
Discover, too, superb local cheeses, chillies and cherries, and where to dine on green ant ice cream or the freshest seafood in Australia. Participate in a tranquil bird-watching breakfast, or take part in festivals that celebrate the wealth of the local soil. Join this culinary tour. The trip is long, but you'll return enriched, and with renewed admiration and a better understanding of what this great country - and its equally great people - can do. It will make you proud to be Australian. And almost certainly it will compel you to go and see for yourself.
