Australian Adventure
Author: Anne Clark
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 0292759630
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 263
Book Description
From August 1965 to February 1968, during his period of service in Australia, Ambassador Edward Clark traveled in that country as no other American and probably few Australians ever have. His wife, Anne Clark, traveled with him, then wrote her observations and impressions to friends and family in the United States. Her letters, published for the first time in this volume, reveal the isolations and involvements as well as the opportunities and the pleasures of embassy life. The etiquette of official functions at times posed problems, as in the Clarks' first black-tie dinner with the Acting Governor General, where Mrs. Clark was supposed to curtsy. "Some Ambassadors feel strongly that the representative of the President of the United States should never bend his knee (or rather his wife's) to any man. Mrs. Battle, wife of our predecessor ... put the question directly to President Kennedy. His answer to her was, 'Curtsy you must, but keep a stiff upper knee.'" Soon, Anne Clark realized that the routine of appearances and entertainments was constant: "I do not know when I will make peace with the schedule. I am a slave to the little black book that is my calendar." In addition to the intricacies of embassy life, the Clarks encountered much that was unfamiliar—new people, almost a new language, new flowers, new animals—even a sky with its new moon upside down. But their warm hospitality and genuine interest in things Australian attracted friends throughout the continent. Figures from the government, the church, the diplomatic circle, and everyday life, plus well-known guests from home, all become known to the reader in this perceptive account of official life from the inside.

The Backyard Adventurer
Author: Beau Miles
Publisher: Brio Books Pty Ltd
ISBN: 1922267317
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
After years of adventuring around the globe – running, kayaking, hitchhiking, exploring – Beau Miles came back to his block in country Victoria. Staying put for the first time in years, Beau developed a new kind of lifestyle as the Backyard Adventurer. Whether it was walking 90km to work with no provisions, building a canoe paddle out of scavenged scrap or running a disused railway line through properties, blackberry thickets and past inquiring police officers, Beau has been finding ways to satisfy his adventurous spirit close to home. This book is about conscious experimentation with adventure, making meaning and inspiration out of tins of beans, bits of rubbish and elbow grease. Beau’s Backyard exploits are funny, authentic, insightful and being copied all over the world by everyday people. YouTuber, new dad, and self-described oddball who needs to shower more, Beau is what happens when you cross Bear Grylls with Bush Tucker Man. With a PhD in Outdoor Education, a string of successful short films under his belt and a boundless passion for discovery, Beau is the real deal.

Book Description
I really hadn't given a thought to writing about my time in Australia. But after writing several other books about various subjects, mostly personal and family related, my Australian friends started to ask me when I was going to write about my time in Australia. And they would follow that question up with "do you remember the time??.." I thought yeah, those are some good stories, but who wants to read about the coming of age of a teenager. Then I realized there was more to my time in Australia than just a teenager stumbling through the awkward years of his life. And after making a trip back to Alice Springs in 2016 with several of my Australian High School mates to play baseball my memories of Australia were kick started again. I began to reflect on how my parents and siblings continue to this day to fondly recall their life in Australia and how positively it impacted them. And that whenever we get together our time in Australia seems to always enter the conversation. Its then that I realized maybe I should put those fond memories on paper. And that's what they are, memories. I didn't keep a diary or anything documenting exactly the way things were. It's just my recollections of what happened, so don't take all of this as fact. And Lord knows I have been known to embellish a story! With that said I hope this book brings back fond memories of your time in Alice Springs. And if you haven't been there, I hope this gives you the push to go.
