It looks like it was first published in January 1, 2014. I just now ordered the Kindle copy.

Thanks, Dave,
I'll tell the Library that they was wrong!

G'day,
My local library had a copy of this on display (not for loan):
Noel Braun: "The day was made for Walking - an Aussie's search for meaning on the Camino de Santiago" Sid Horta Publications P/L, ABN 46 119 415 842.
It's a new release, and my bookstore doesn't even have a computer listing.
The author walked in his later '70's basically in memory of his late wife. The blurb indicates it's a spiritual pilgrimage. I just wondered if anyone was across it yet?
He's going to give a talk on it in the Library on 27 June, for all close by. De Colores

I have just completed my second full camino Frances and, can certainly say that in parts, it was Not an easy walk....lots of hills, mud, rain, fog,hail mixed in with the odd sunny days. There are tough climbs, which are very tricky and, even tougher downhill areas where one has to watch almost every step,to avoid slipping or turning an ankle. There is lso a lot of flatter road walking but you still need to keep your wits about you and take care. Having written that though, i thoroughly enjoyed it this time] around, met some wonderfully supportive and encouraging people, both pilgrims and the local Spanish people, who were only too happy to assist when i lost the arrows. Aysen, be prepared to walk with an open mind...if you are staying in hostels, be prepared for the snorers and, the oft times fuggy atmosphere....Your legs will hurt, you will sometimes wonder what youve got youself in for, but, overall, it is a wonderful experience. BUEN camino for now.It would be interesting hearing an honest account of walking the Camino because most of it online is very romanticised. It could be quite disappointing for some people planning their walk.
My comment is not so much about the walking, which I loved, or the leg pain. I did hate the snoring and the attitude that some snorers had, probably all actually, that the rest of us just had to endure it. And I did, I went through three sets of ear plugs until I found some silicone ones and I could still hear the snorers. I think you know what I mean but won't admit it. I'll leave it at that.I have just completed my second full camino Frances and, can certainly say that in parts, it was Not an easy walk....lots of hills, mud, rain, fog,hail mixed in with the odd sunny days.

Not quite sure what you mean by your last comment Aysen.....What won't I admit please?My comment is not so much about the walking, which I loved, or the leg pain.
