Sinossi
L'avventuroso e atipico viaggiatore, con i suoi chili di troppo, ci apre le porte della stupefacente Australia: sfata l'immagine comune di un paese coperto di deserti e popolato soltanto di canguri; ci parla di un'umanità accogliente e socievole, di corsi d'acqua meravigliosi, della misteriosa cultura aborigena, dell'incredibile varietà della vegetazione e degli animali.
