Holidays

De: William McInnes

Narrado por: William McInnes

Written and read by best-selling Australian author and much-loved actor William McInnes, this is a story about our love affair with holidays.

It's about going away and staying at home. It's about the relaxing times you had as a kid, escapes you have with your children and the stories you hear from your friends.

It can be about a romantic sunset, the spare seat at breakfast being taken by an attractive stranger, a miraculous airline upgrade - or missing bags, unfortunate rashes and wrong turns that lead to places you definitely did not intend to go.

But most of all it's about being in your backyard in an aboveground pool, floating in circles, staring at the clouds as you go round and round and knowing as you float that life is sweet because you're on holidays.

Wonderful Australian Memories

I loved it. It brought back so many of my own memories of Australian holidays long ago. How William honours his wife is always very moving. I listen as I do early morning walks along the Yarra and through South Yarra so now when I look at local landmarks my thoughts go to the holiday places I was hearing about as I passed. Thank you William. Toni Planinsek
