Billy Connolly Book Archive
World Tour of Australia



 

Billy Connolly, one of Britain's best-loved comedians, now triumphs Down Under in a witty and perceptive view of Australia. Besides being a self-confessed Neighbours fan, Billy is a veteran of many visits to Oz. He loves Australia and Australians and the feeling is reciprocated - his concert tours are sell-outs - making Billy a sensitive and experienced guide.

 Travelling on a specially made Harley Davidson trike, he roams the length and breadth of this spectacular country, from the glistening cities of Sydney and Perth to the blinding heat of the Outback, performing in his celebrated shows and delivering a highly individual commentary on all things Australian, as well as on himself.

 From Melbourne to Brisbane, from Coober Pedy to Bathurst Island, Billy sets out to find the true spirit of Australia's people. Whether swimming with dolphins, eating Mangrove worms with the Tiwi Aborigines, feeding crocodiles, or climbing to the top of Sydney Harbour Bridge, Billy brings an enthusiastic view to everything he does and sees, and everyone he meets.

 Complete with many fabulous photographs by Nobby Clark and sprinkled with excerpts from his stage shows Billy Connolly's World Tour of Australia will show you an Australia you never knew, and one you will never forget.
