"For nearly thirty years, Australia had been a conspicuous, light-yellow spot in the lower right corner on my world map that kept drawing my attention and filled me with curiosity, and I had decided that it was time to have a closer look." Jeroen Vogel's quest to find the Real Australia lasted two years, during which he finds himself in front of a deadly snake, hides with Aboriginal children from the patrolling police car, milks 222 cows at 4am, finds employment at Bed Bug Backpackers, hikes the Overland Track on Tasmania, rides both the Ghan and Indian-Pacific Railway, and runs away from Perth's Last Resort. The rather diverse cast of characters brings life to a fast-paced book that is written for both the young backpacker and the armchair traveller. Whether Jeroen Vogel found his real Australia is a question worth pondering, but, as the reader will discover, he most definitely was In Australia!
