From the streets of Sydney, over to the desert of Alice Springs, and on down to Melbourne and the Great Ocean Road, the old mining town of Ballarat and up into the Blue Mountains, the Hulls talk and laugh with Australians and visitors alike as they enjoy the culture differences and beauty of Australia.

Seine Lust am Reisen treibt Lasse Schmidt an und er entdeckt ein Australien, das mehr zu bieten hat als weiße Strände und raues Outback - und lässt ein Buch entstehen, das voller Geschichten ist über die Eigenarten des Landes und seiner Bewohner, die er amüsant zu einem spannenden Road Movie verknüpft. Ob er in Surfers Paradise die falsche T-Shirt-Auswahl trifft, im Outback auf Känguru-Jagd geht oder in Sydney mit einer explodierten Tomatendose eine Küche neu streicht.

Guam is a special place for a number of reasons. At 212 square miles, it's the largest island in Micronesia, and its status as a territory of the U.S. makes it our most westerly possession. It is 6,000 miles west of San Francisco, and is truly where America's day begins. The geology of this apostrophe-shaped island, which is 30 miles long and four to 12 miles wide, is volcanic. Much of the northern part has cliffs along the coast that drop sharply to the sea, as well as a few mountains that range up to 600 feet.

Nature is excessive, lovely, and ominous in the Solomons and the Melanesians who live there, often blond or redheaded, are the blackest of all people. Before World War II such names as Guadalcanal, Savo, Munda were rarely heard. Guadalcanal, over 100 miles long by 30 miles wide, is the largest island. Then in descending order there's Malaita, San Cristobal, Choiseul, New Georgia, and Santa Ysabel. All of them are mountainous, covered with rain forest, and laced with rivers.

I 1789 flygtede ni fanger sammen med to børn fra den engelske straffekoloni i Australien med kurs mod Hollandsk Ostindien. "Hvor er du, Paradis?" råbte den ene ud over det mægtige Stillehav, hvortil en anden svarede, "vi skal nok finde dig! Bare hold ud!" Journalist og eventyrer Arne Falk-Rønne er rejst i kølvandet på de undvegne fanger og skildrer det liv, de flygtede fra, og den rejse, som ventede dem. Disse 11 mennesker blev de eneste, der nogensinde overlevede en flugt fra den frygtede straffekoloni i de 70 år, den eksisterede.

Il viaggio più affascinante è un viaggio antico, graduale, privato e sociale insieme: il viaggio in treno. I treni sono teatri, caffè, bazar. L'unico talk-show che non conosce crisi è quello che si replica quotidianamente sulle rotaie. La confidenza genera libertà: ci ha messo insieme il caso, ci dividerà una stazione. I treni aiutano a pensare. Tutti i grandi viaggi - dai pellegrinaggi cattolici al Grand Tour, dalla prima partenza con gli amici al viaggio di nozze - sono, in fondo, una scoperta di se stessi: il panorama che c'interessa sta dentro di noi.

The photographs stop you in your tracks. Five children and their grandmother sheltering under an old wooden jetty as the air around them burns a fierce orange. Seen around the world, these were the images from the heart of the inferno that showed the Tasmanian township of Dunalley fighting for survival. On the morning of 4 January 2013, the people of Dunalley had watched with caution as a bush fire burned slowly on top of the hill. It was not an unusual occurrence - fires are a part of Australian life - and Dunalley had never been troubled before.
