It was also published as part of Walk About, which included Down Under and another of Bryson's books, A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail, in one volume.

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