Award winning author Reg Egan's third book, Of Rivers, Baguettes
and Billabongs, is an insightful look at the history and lives
affected by two rivers in two different continents: the Darling in
Australia and the Dordogne in France. Egan cleverly draws parallels
between the two seemingly unrelated landscapes, exploring the
people and their culture. He retraces the travels of our most loved
literary figures, including Henry Lawson and Banjo Patterson,
questioning: How much is our culture affected by our landscape?
Egan's love of all things French is only equal to his love of his
homeland and, in Of Rivers, Baguettes and Billabongs, Egan proves
it is possible for a man to love and be true to two countries in
different hemispheres. Of Rivers, Baguettes and Billabongs will
appeal to anyone interested in food, history, literature, poetry,
and travel. Don't be surprised if this becomes a baby boomer travel
guide as inspired readers take to retracing Egan's fascinating
exploration of what shapes us.
