` Don`t judge Australia just by the Australians.` Dame Edna Everadge Welcome to Australia. One of the most far-flung & beautiful destinations in the world. Home to the dreamiest coastlines & cityscapes human beings have ever clapped their eyes on. Home of dags, bingles, snags & sangers, Australia boasts some of the planet`s most exotic, dangerous & unique species of animal & insect &, irrefutably, the most inspiring outback terrain & ocean vistas known to man. It is the country referred to as the land of the plenty, God`s Own Country. & it`s true. It is. But God`s been a bit absent lately. Which is why, now, after all these years, Australia has started to look a little shitty. A little overgrown. A little bit long in the tooth. It is, in short, a country in need of a good hose down.. .and a hug. This is a hilarious collection of photographs of one of the world`s most ridiculous countries at its worst. The photos reveal the eccentricities, bleakness & humour of every nook & cranny of the entire country
- the dry bleak deserts & the over-the-top natives. Shit Australia is a warts-&-all walk around the world`s most crazy country, seen through the eyes of its own locals & Patrick Dalton
- the quintessential Englishman down under. Word count: 3, 000

` It never gets easier, you just go faster.` Greg Le Mond Being a three-time Tour de France winner is only half of the Greg Le Mond story. Equally at home on the cobbles of the spring classics as he was on the mountains of the grand tours Le Mond rode a full racing season from spring to autumn. His never-say-die spirit also bagged him two World Championship golds & a hatful of podiums at the world`s toughest bike races. Le Mond was a talented all-rounder, with a reputation as one of the canniest & taciturn racers of his generation. He was admired by his peers & respected by many of his rivals. But things could have been very different, when in 1987 his story took a tragic turn: While out hunting, he was accidentally shot. He lost so much blood that his life hung in the balance, but his recovery was as miraculous as what happened next, when he came back to the world of bicycle racing. In Le Mond: Yellow Jersey Racer, which presents Le Mond`s career year by year, big wins are documented with unique & exclusive photography depicting the racing times of this exceptional bike rider. Many of the protagonists in Le Mond`s world
- rivals, team mates & friends
- have been interviewed. They speak candidly about his career, how their lives crossed & his legacy in the sport of cycling. Foreword by Greg Le Mond.
