Synopsis

Tony James Slater knew nothing about Australia.
Except for the fact that he’d just arrived there.
The stage is set for an outrageous adventure: three people, one van, on an epic, 20,000 mile road trip around Australia.
What could possibly go wrong?

Of course, the van—nicknamed "Rusty"—is a crumbling wreck, held together by the world’s most garish paint job.
They’re criss-crossing the continent through some of the most inhospitable land on the planet—the infamous Aussie Outback.
And isn’t there something about Australian animals being . . . well, you know, kind of dangerous?

Unprepared, under-qualified and hopelessly inept, Tony battles gigantic pumpkins, mechanical mishaps and suicidal kangaroos, armed only with a thong and a sense of humor.
His companions struggle to keep him safe whilst climbing in drag, snowboarding off cliffs, and hiking hundreds of miles through the bush.
One thing’s for sure; this "adventure of a lifetime"—if they survive it—is something they’re never going to forget.

So, scull those stubbies!
Grab your galahs!
And put down that platypus.
LOOK OUT, AUSTRALIA!
There’s an idiot coming . . .

About Tony James Slater

Tony James Slater is a very, very strange man. He believes himself to be indestructible, despite considerable evidence to the contrary. He is often to be found making strange faces whilst pretending to be attacked by inanimate objects. And sometimes-not always, but often enough to be of concern-his testicles hang out of the holes in his trousers. It is for this reason (amongst others) that he chooses to spend his life far from mainstream civilization, tackling ridiculous challenges and subjecting himself to constant danger. He gets hurt quite a lot.

Kamikaze Kangaroos did not disappoint in the slightest. It’s bloody brilliant! In fact, I think it could be the best one yet. It still maint......more

Goodreads review by Sherry

I just finished reading Tony's 3rd book. I had so many laughs. Reading his books is like being across the table from him at your local pub. And he's telling you about all his adventures. You are laughing so hard the beer is bubbling out your nose, you are holding your side and telling him.... "STOP"......more

Goodreads review by Susann

This is my favorite of the series so far. Tony has definitely hit his stride as a humor writer and this one is hysterical. There are so many situations that he, his sister and Roo get into that you just can't make up. Funny doesn't begin to cover it. Perhaps bizarre or truly unbelievable or perhaps......more
