Showing titles in Australia & Oceania

Australien fasziniert mit vielfältigen Landschaften: Bizarre Felsformationen, der weltberühmte Ayers Rock, zauberhafte Koralleninseln, tropische Regenwälder, das Outback... Ebenso einzigartig ist die australische Tierwelt mit Koalas und Kängurus. Aber auch die australischen Städte, mit kulturellen Höhepunkten wie dem Opernhaus von Sydney, lohnen den Besuch.

This short piece outlines the adventures I had both in the air and on the sea. My travels took me on a flying safari across Australia and cruising around the coasts of Tasmania and New Zealand's South Island. Both spectacular, breathtaking places in their own rights. Let me tell you, the rewards outstripped the risks by a long way.

"Kreuz und Quer" ist Australien zum Hören, zum Fühlen, zum Schmunzeln und zum Staunen. Michael Wirbitzky und Sascha Zeus fahren kreuz und quer durch diesen faszinierenden Kontinent...

Einen gigantischen Kauribaum umarmen, entspannt in luftiger Höhe auf dem Sky Tower flanieren, ein Bad im blubbernden Schlammgeysir...

Walking Australia describes the way Americans Charlie and Sally Hull most enjoy seeing the country, meeting the people along the way. 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.

Australien macht süchtig. Und so haben sich Wirby und Zeus wieder auf die Reise nach Down Under gemacht...

Australien ist ein Kontinent der Kontraste, konservativ und multikulturell, eine junge Nation auf uraltem Land...

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.

With a destination loosely defined as the rest of the world, Mary and her husband Tom leave family, friends and successful careers for a multi-year sailing voyage. As the voyage takes her farther and farther from her traditional support systems, her world becomes more and more defined by forces outside her control. Mary's travels through often uncharted island communities, provides a compelling metaphor for a journey of self-discovery.
