Beneath the Gumtrees: In Search of the Australian Dream

Everyone has a dream. But dreams don’t come cheap. They come at a cost. An emotional down payment! What would you be willing to pay? And what is life without a dream? Honest, heartfelt and at times, poetic, ‘Beneath the Gumtrees’ paints a true picture of one couple’s experience whilst emigrating to the other side of the world. This impassioned story of two halves navigates the choices made and the challenges faced throughout the journey. The distinction between the intoxicating dream and the hard reality when following your heart, leaving everything and everyone you know and love behind you. Giving up a secure and established existence in order to pursue a different route and a new adventure to follow. An earnest tale of reef, roos and reality – the breathtaking highs and undeniable lows that present themselves when choosing a new way of life. A funny, honest and sometimes brutally frank account of chasing the Australian dream. Australia – the lucky country – a land where dreams are made and shattered in equal measure. A country unlike any other. —- ISBN: 9781739554903 | ISBN10: 1739554906 | ISBN-13: 978-1739554903
