About this book

From the book:If the readers of this volume will be so kind as to take their credentials for the different places which are the subject of its author's reminiscences, from the Author himself, perhaps they may visit them, in fancy, the more agreeably, and with a better understanding of what they are to expect. Many books have been written upon Italy, affording many means of studying the history of that interesting country, and the innumerable associations entwined about it. I make but little reference to that stock of information; not at all regarding it as a necessary consequence of my having had recourse to the storehouse for my own benefit, that I should reproduce its easily accessible contents before the eyes of my readers.

Sean & David's long drive

Sean Condon

Sean Condon is young, urban and a connoisseur of hair wax. He can't drive, and he doesn't travel well.So when Sean and his friend David set out to explore Australia in a duck-egg blue 1966 Ford Falcon, the result is a decidely offbeat look at life on the road. Over 14,000 death-defying kilometres later, our heroes check out the re-runs on tv, get fabulously drunk, listen to Neil Young and wonder why they ever left home.Sean & David's Long Drive mixes sharp insights with deadpan humour and outright lies. Crank it up and read it out loud.
