Rincewind is stranded on the Discworld's last undiscovered continent - a sunburnt land of strange creatures, stranger people, and a very confused creator god who hasn't quite finished building the place. Meanwhile, the wizards of Unseen University have accidentally travelled back in time and are interfering with the continent's creation. Pratchett's affectionate parody of Australia, complete with beer, kangaroos, and existential questions about evolution.
