About this ebook
Keep Australia on Your Left is a story of friendship forged--and sustained--under demanding circumstances. It is also the personal portrait of Eric Stiller's journey around a continent...and into himself.
"You mad bastards. You mad bloody bastards."
The challenge? Paddle a kayak around Australia.
As Eric Stiller and Tony Brown would discover, the attempt would be a fascinating, frustrating, maddening, and at times hilarious crawl around what many consider the most beautiful but treacherous coastline in the world. Swamped by high waves and rain, hampered by faulty technology, blown off course, baked by a broiling sun or chilled by sub-zero temperatures, battling loneliness and exhaustion--and sometimes each other--it would be the most demanding emotional and physical challenge either had ever attempted.
In short, it was the adventure of a lifetime!

The author describes very little visually, though he's keen on the sound sailing a kayak makes!?? Then the sounds of waves, etc. . One wonders if he ever looked up. The romance in this book is a construct of his own fantasy, which even bewilders the woman at one point in the end. The pace sags in the middle and collapses at the end.
