About this listen
Written and read by best-selling Australian author and much-loved actor William McInnes, this is a story about our love affair with holidays.
It's about going away and staying at home. It's about the relaxing times you had as a kid, escapes you have with your children and the stories you hear from your friends.
It can be about a romantic sunset, the spare seat at breakfast being taken by an attractive stranger, a miraculous airline upgrade - or missing bags, unfortunate rashes and wrong turns that lead to places you definitely did not intend to go.
But most of all it's about being in your backyard in an aboveground pool, floating in circles, staring at the clouds as you go round and round and knowing as you float that life is sweet because you're on holidays.

A wonderful trip
I love the no b.s. style that William McInnes gives us in this audio book.
The reader is taken on a journey which for the most part is humorous, sometimes hilarious, but which also by way of contrast includes the addition of serious but gentle comments.
I thoroughly recommend this work.

An Aussie Literary Delight
A wonderful recollection of life memories. I was amazed at Will’s recollection and the detail within it.
So many funny stories with a tint of nostalgia for us 50 something listeners.
A journey into a mix of humour, heartfelt feelings of family tradition and some touching moments that have shaped Wills’ being.
Thanks for sharing mate, a great listen!

Bring back childhood memories
A rollicking story telling about holidays in general but if you come from Queensland Australia there are sections that really bought back wonderful memories.
William is an acute observer of human behaviour and can really manage to see the humour in things.

Loved it
Great book - kept laughing to myself the whole time. I grew up in Brisbane about the same time so I could relate to all of it.

Good on Ya Reddy.
As someone who grew up in Redcliffe in the 60s and 70s I knew all these places, attitudes and ways of life, I knew these people or people like them, I too loved the Dolphins; hope they kick ass in the NRL next year. Such a nostalgic and funny read: Hornibrook Highway, Scotts Point, Humpybong Primary, Redcliffe's status a sort of a holiday destination and did I mention the Dolphins.
William McInnes books feature funny episodes and quirky people, but they are always warm-hearted and fond treatments.

excellent
What a great book, William Mcinnes is as good as always. Few books in my audible library get played more than once but I have enjoyed this three times now. Can't wait for another
