Hot Air Rising

Gap years are supposed to be fun! Yet when three friends, who have a knack of ending up in sticky situations, travel from a 1,000,000 acre sheep station in Outback Australia to The Surf Coast on the Great Ocean Road, to Prague and Việt Nam---they need all their unconventional skills to find a way out.

Ever had someone stand up for you, or wanted to stand up for someone else? These three very good friends stand up for those who are unable to do so for themselves, as well as protecting each other. Travel with them to different parts of the world, immerse yourself in different cultures, and tumble with them from one adventure to another, and along the way, learn a new meaning for F.U.C.K.  

In Hot Air Rising by Matthew Taylor we experience a sense of comradeship, wonder, adrenaline rush, standing up for what you believe in, and belonging. Oh! and there is a bit of cheeky maths to delve into if you like, or skip.
