The Edge of the World

Next Stop Cape Horn

Beschreibung

In 2006, Coral Waight began the first of four road trips, alone, around Tasmania. Maps draw you along with her as she discovers rainforests, caves and wild rivers; pretty towns and heritage estates; challenges her fear of heights and sea-sickness, and becomes addicted to convict and indigenous history. Told with empathy and unfailing good humour.

Autor

Coral Waight started travelling alone at the age of sixty. She began by crossing Bass Strait, south of where she lives in Melbourne, Australia, to explore the island state of Tasmania. After four road trips around the forests, caves and coastlines of her beloved 'Tassie', she ventured further afield, across the Tasman Sea to New Zealand, with its fiords, glaciers, volcanic valleys and its 'Lord of the Rings' trail. With these experiences under her belt, she took the leap to the other side of the world. England provided Dickens, the Brontes and Shakespeare; medieval cities and West End theatres; a malevolent rental car, indecipherable road signs and menacing roundabouts. Her 'Planning to the Nth' series describes the challenges, pitfalls - and joys - of a woman, 'of an age', discovering the world - at last.
