What Customers Say About Surviving Australia: A Practical Guide to Staying Alive:

It is not a "tourist's guide" and is somewhat like that book about Extreme Survival tips where they tell you how to escape a submerged car or killer bees, but not as outlandish.The first page is hilarious though. you need for roughing it in the Outback. This book is a mix of great advice for rookies and regular adventurers. It gives you all the info. Wilby is a well-known adventure and writer and knows her stuff.
