And you might just make a stop in lesser-known Jincumbilly, Australia (where there are more platypuses than people).Full of incredible photos of real-life locations that look plucked from the world of Wes Anderson, this book is all about Adventures big and small, everyday and extraordinary, here and way over there. You'll meet some out-of-this-world characters and be left with travel, design and architectural inspiration beyond your imagination. No passport necessary!
