A young couple braves road trains, flat tires, and kamikaze kangaroos on a journey from the towering mountains of New Zealand to the underwater reefs of Australia. Ever in search of unique experiences, the two raft over waterfalls, swim with sharks, and haggle over used cars, learning along the way one of life's most important lessons: use vegemite sparingly.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Colorful, adventurous, & exotic,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Drive-about: A Road Trip Through New Zealand and Australia (Paperback)
Drive-About is an attention engaging travelogue by Jeff Green of a road trip he took that introduced him to the sights, wonders, and cultures of New Zealand and Australia. From "crazy kiwis"; to lush rainforests; to meeting Aboriginals and sampling their "witchetty grub" (the larval stage of a large moth) as a snack, Drive-About is colorful, adventurous, exotic, which is especially recommended for armchair travelers -- and would well serve as a trip-planning template for anyone contemplating vacations in Australia or New Zealand.

A very entertaining read about two young dare-devils. Interesting,informative and the author's dry wit is reminiscent of Bill Bryson
