Who goes on holiday to work? Especially to New Zealand, halfway
around the world? Yorkshire-born Joe ponders this briefly, before
doing exactly that... for a year. Before he leaves for Auckland,
Joe studies the feats of fellow Yorkshireman Captain James Cook.
Attempting to emulate Cook, Joe invents a chapter-by-chapter
scorecard to compare his progress with the famous explorer: if Joe
succeeds in any way he's allocated one point, but in the event of
failure or embarrassment, the Captain is allocated a point. If it's
too close to call, it's a draw: game on! Travelling on a working
visa, Joe is soon put to work in garden centres, hotels, as a
labourer, and even helping a private investigator. With support
from his university friends, coupled with a blossoming romance with
the lovely Jess, our hero soon discovers the highs and lows of
working thousands of miles from home with no money. Hard Up Down
Under mixes deadpan humour with razor-sharp insights. A must-read
for anyone interested in travel, looking for adventure, or hoping
to work abroad.
