25.01.2022 For Australians and New Zealanders, the annual Anzac Day on 25 April is when those who gave their lives and suffered in the defense of their countries and freedom are remembered. The adventures in the old cars through Central Asia and the Caucasus were during the year of the 70th anniversary of the end of World War 2. There are many Memorials in these countries to the sacrifice so many made in defence of the former Soviet Union. Many millions died. Here are a few photos of s...ome of the Memorials in Almaty in Kazakhstan, Bishkek in Kyrgyzstan, Taskent in Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan and with the final photo of a tapestry depicting Stalin and Lenin in the Stalin Museum at Gori in Georgia. Click on the following link to buy the beautiful Bondi to the Baltic book and read more of the incredible stories of the drive across the world. https://www.wilddingopress.com.au/prod/bondi-to-the-baltic/

24.01.2022 Another great review of the book Bondi to the Baltic. I have just finished Bondi to the Baltic - a fascinating read (although I confess to skipping most of the car bits), and what an amazing adventure! An extraordinary range of experiences in a world I know next to nothing about. And the book is beautifully presented, and well written, with good information and a light touch. Congratulations to all,... Mary M. Thanks Mary. Glad you enjoyed it. #wilddingopress #vintagevehicleclubofaustralia #dodgebrothersclubofaustralasia #travel #vintagecars

23.01.2022 Michael Bink recommends Bondi to the Baltic. July 5 at 4:36 PM I loved this handsomely presented book: a perfect balance of travelogue, friends-on-the-road adventure, geography/geology lessons, and cultural insight into a part of the world many of us clearly dont know anywhere near enough about. John is a natural story teller. His warm authorial voice steers us through this vast, diverse region, ultimately revealing how people of good heart - whether they be a bunch of blokes on a somewhat mad caper, or the decent ordinary folk of Asia/Eurasia - can actually make the world a better place just by being themselves.

22.01.2022 . I have my copy of Bondi to the Baltic and am ready to embark on my armchair adventure. All the best

22.01.2022 Arriving in Finland 5 years ago, after 20,000 km through 12 countries in a pair of vintage cars with a combined age of over 180 years. Car owners Bill and Ian became media tarts.

22.01.2022 Getting ready to sing our hearts out in the exchanting old opera house in the old untouched village being developed into a tourist town. With a quiet tree lined main street and great hotel.

20.01.2022 " congrats on a great read..... finished today. I will definitely be passing my copy through the family as all our kids will love to learn of your experiences. But I think they like to travel in a little bit more of comfort. Congratulate John McCombe for me please. The script, layout and the maps are just perfect for a most enjoyable read. Well done to all the contributors and the last item by Sergei sums it up brilliantly. My day in hospital getting an intravenous course of... strong chemo passed easily as I followed you all through China, the Stans and Russia to Finland. Well done again. Thanks for that Kevin. #WildDingoPress #dodgebrothersclub #romantickingdomofwomen #vintagevehicleclubofaustralia #silkroad

19.01.2022 Two antique cars, a few old mates, 20,000km across Eurasia, and the trip of a lifetime. What could go wrong? Bondi to the Baltic is the best kind of travel writing, full of humour, adventure, humility, sticky situations, and the the joy of discovery. You will laugh along with this group of Aussie blokes having the time of their lives driving halfway across the world in vintage cars. "The best kind of travel writing: engaging, informative, perceptive and generous in spirit, th...e work of a mind curious about the world and accepting of difference. Stunning photographs and, above all, a wonderful adventure." ~ Garry Disher, Bestselling Australian novellist. #WildDingoPress #dodgebrotherclub #vintagevehicleclub #romantickingdomofwomen #traveler #silkroad

19.01.2022 I had trouble with the Wilddingo website the other day when ordering your book so rang them. Had a very interesting chat with Cathy Lewis who told me, after taking my address, 'you must be after Bondi to the Baltic.' She said 'those guys have so many friends in WA and they are all buying this book.' So many years and experiences since the Bangka years but you are still Mr Ian of the flour bag trousers and polka dotted shorts to me! xx

18.01.2022 Bondi to the Baltic had a few car problems that had to be fixed. Read all about it in the book. #wilddingopress #bonditothebaltic #dodgebrothersclub

17.01.2022 I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed Bondi to the Baltic. I was fascinated by the way you were able to balance car stories with local colour/geography/geology, with human interestit all worked really well. Naturally I loved the bits where experiences linked up. You made a different decision to me at the Stalin Museum in Gori, by actually buying a Stalin tea towel. I thought it would be fun to buy a mess of Stalin coffee mugs for presents when I got back home. But the truth is I could not do itcould not even buy one. Craig C.
