Mango Country: A Journey Beyond the Brochures of Tropical Queensland - John van Tiggelen
Product Information Mango Country: A Journey Beyond the Brochures of Tropical Queensland - John van Tiggelen Journeying around North Queensland, jungle tour guide turned gonzo-journalist John van Tiggelen lingers in places that tourists are ill-advised, disinclined or simply unable to visit. He goes crocodile hunting, shoots a nude calendar for charity, joins the world's wildest cricket carnival, attends the opening of the Big Mango and flits around the Torres Strait on a wing and a prayer. En route he is harassed by cassowaries, bush poets, thong collectors, falling coconuts, Bob Katter and the alien commander of 18 million spaceships, among others. But he also harasses them. Mango Country goes beyond the travel brochures to offer an irreverent profile of a province, and an insight into Australian life away from the big city lights. This softcover volume was published by Macmillan in 2003. It has a slight reading crease along the spine and a little bumping to the edges and corners.
