Down Under is the British title of a 2000 travelogue book about Australia written by best-selling travel writer Bill Bryson.

In a style similar to his book A Walk in the Woods, or William Least Heat-Moon's Blue Highways, Bryson's research enabled him to include many stories about Australia's 19th-century explorers and settlers who suffered extreme deprivations, as well as details about its natural resources, culture, and economy.

Into the Outback The first part of the book mainly describes the journey taken by Bryson aboard the Indian Pacific from Sydney to Perth.

The author also supplies plenty of humor in the form of historical accounts of early explorers and settlers of Australia.

Around the Edges This part of the journey covers the Great Barrier Reef, the cities of Cairns, Darwin, and Alice Springs, and the mighty monolithic rock Uluru.
