I recently came across a book called Best Laid Plan written by a young Canadian author named Allan Wills.

It's written in a similar style to Bill Bryson's Down Under (In a Sunburned Country), but refreshingly different seeing as it's put together by a young guy who lands in Oz and creates a truly remarkable reality for himself and coutless others, from nothing. (much like the modern nation of Australia and a cool change from the publisher-paid all-too-easy-travelling 50-something observations of Bryson......not that they aren't wickedly funny and interesting)

I got off a plane in Sydney a few years back with a work visa and about 400 bucks to my name, so I can definitely see where Allan's coming from.

I'd recommend it to anybody who's keen on a new take on the whole "Oz thing" as well as anyone who's keen on helping a young author get the ball rolling.

Everything about Allan Wills and his book Best Laid Plan can be found at his website "wills world"

PS
Not only will he deliver "FREE!" to anyone in Montreal, but I bought a book off him in downtown Montreal and he drove me back to my house 20 minutes away! ----> Free TAXI! How many other authors'll do that?
