Keep Australia on Your Left: A True Story of an Attempt to Circumnavigate Australia by Kayak - Softcover
Synopsis
The challenge? Paddle a kayak around Australia. As Eric Stiller and Tony Brown would discover, the attempt would be a fascinating, frustrating, maddening and at times hilarious crawl around what many consider the most beautiful but treacherous coastline in the world. Swamped by high waves and rain, hampered by faulty technology, baked by a broiling sun or chilled by sub-zero temperatures, battling loneliness and exhaustion - and sometimes each other - it would be the most demanding emotional and physical challenge either had ever attempted. In short, it was the adventure of a lifetime! KEEP AUSTRALIA ON YOUR LEFT is a story of friendship forged under demanding circumstances. It is also the personal portrait of Eric Stiller's journey around a continent...and into himself.

Review
"Remarkable." -"Publishers Weekly""What a hell of a movie this drama-packed journey would make! Little did Stiller realize how much his life would change when a handsome Australian named Tony Brown wandered into his store . . . and told him in a matter of fact tone that he wanted to kayak around the whole bloody continent of Australia . . . . A highly dangerous undertaking that would eventually bring Tony and Eric to the brink of disaster. One heck of an adventure."-"Library Journal""I have the highest regard for Eric Stiller's courage as a traveler, and skill and imagination as a writer." -"Paul Theroux "

Keep Australia on Your Left. a True Story of An Attempt To Circumnavigate Australia By Kayak
Seller: Book Haven, Wellington, WLG, New Zealand
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Fair. It sounds like a pilot for a new Fox network live broadcast: a self-searching Manhattan kayak salesman teams up with a rowdy Australian male model to circumnavigate Australia by kayak. Thankfully, though, chest beating and contrived conflict are absent in Eric Stiller's true account of his attempt to kayak the 10,000 miles around Australia with Aussie Tony Brown. What we get instead is a look at the tedium, death-defying stamina, and hilarious blunderings of two men with little experience to prepare them for their chosen expedition. 'The Australian coastline is a nightmare of tightly coiled inlets and rocky coves and sheer rock cliff faces and bays as huge and forbidding as Saharan deserts,' Stiller muses while he kicks off his training with Brown by paddling around Manhattan. Raised in a family that sells Klepper kayaks, the German-made folding expedition kayaks known for their resilience in violent conditions, Stiller is an expert on the technical details of the equipment. He is not, he admits, accustomed to spending more than three months in a 17-foot-long kayak with anyone, much less Brown, a natural athlete filled with joie de vivre whose navigational strategy is simply, 'Just keep Australia on your left, mate.'. 412 pages.
