<p>It is the driest, flattest, hottest, most desiccated, infertile and climatically aggressive of all the inhabited continents and still Australia teems with life ¿ a large portion of it quite deadly. In fact, Australia has more things that can kill you in a very nasty way than anywhere else.<br><br>Ignoring such dangers ¿ and yet curiously obsessed by them ¿ Bill Bryson journeyed to Australia and promptly fell in love with the country. And who can blame him? The people are cheerful, extrovert, quick-witted and unfailingly obliging: their cities are safe and clean and nearly always built on water; the food is excellent; the beer is cold and the sun nearly always shines. Life doesn¿t get much better than this¿</p>
