Good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Book exchange stamp on inside page. Dust jacket has wear at edges and is now in protective plastic cover.Much as one may love Britain, one has to admit that these days it is becoming pretty crowded, while Australia still offers the attraction of space and opportunity. And Australia has a welcome for migrants. Under a recent scheme, anyone with a capital of 500 pounds can get an assisted passage for 10 pounds, and this plan alone is expected to bring in 45,000 people. But going to live half a world away is a big step, even in these days of speedy transport, and it is only common sense to collect as much information as possible before taking it. There are, of course, plenty of useful Government leaflets. But they cannot be expected to cover every conceivable aspect. This book attempts to supplement facts and figures with a more vivid, human impression of what it really feels like to make a home in Australia. If you (or your friends or relations) go there, how peculiar will the Australians seem to you - and you to them? How angry need you get if someone calls you a Pommie? What about jobs? And climate? Art and literature? Would you worry if you heard there were hoop snakes in the garden? What is the most important thing about Melbourne? Here are the answers and more besides. A chapter is given to each of the seven States, and the rest deal with different aspects of Australia as a whole.…
