Birdsville is Evan McHugh's isolation-change experience.
A year in the Back of Beyond.
I loved the details about the setting up of his new life. The walks to the bakery and elevenses. It is fun to explore another lifestyle - without actually having to uproot yourself and go through this huge change.
Easy to read and immerse yourself in another world on the edge of the Simpson desert.
The other benefit from reading this was a different continent view of our country.
The land is not a void but full of upside down landscapes - water underground, rivers that form to go inland as opposed to running out to sea.
My mind has opened up - and yes I do want to go there.
