"Down Under" means down home to the people ot two nations, Australia and New Zealand, and delightful destinations for travelers to the South Pacific today. Remote even in the jet age, these countries share a habit of welcoming visitors with informal ease and good humor. In this book, you'll meet people who startle and amuse you; you'll sense the challenge of new destinies in the Pacific as both nations look to the future. You'll learn their common heritage as former British colonies, still linked by allegiance to the Crown, by legends of heroism and sacrifice in war, and by stubbornly democratic ways. With memorable text and photographs that range the breadth of Australia and the length of New Zealand, the book also underlines the profound differences between two deeply individual countries. This is a National Geographic publication.
