Scrublands by Chris Hammer

Hello my lovely readers! 

When I tell you I DEVOURED this book....I DEVOURED this book! I bought this book at Potts Point Bookshop in Sydney, Australia five years ago. So let's get into it!

BACKGROUND
It was January 2020, just before the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the world. I was with my bestie, Laiza to celebrate her birthday and we went to Australia and New Zealand. I later did a four day solo trip to Fiji.

On our way to the Sydney Opera House, we decide to take the scenic route and passed by this bookshop.

The synopsis intrigued me, so of course I purchased it and got a bookmark. Aside from books that I buy when traveling, I love getting bookmarks from local bookstores.

Laiza and I were only in Australia for a week and in Sydney for three days before we headed to Cairns for the rest of the week to go snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef. I thoroughly enjoyed Australia and would definitely visit again. Here's a few photos from my time there...for your viewing pleasure!
