A transcription of Western Australian youth's 1975 diary tracking his journey as he circumnavigates the globe over 349 consecutive days.

His international journey begins with a ship's passage from Melbourne, through the Panama Canal, to England, then hitchhiking and local public transport through Europe and North Africa. He returns home via the 'Hippie Trail', rambling overland across South and Southeast Asia.

Included are letters sent home, with annotated tourist brochure snippets, and contemporary explanations, expansions, and reflections.

A travel adventure from a recent but bygone era; it charts the development of a young man from sheltered suburban naivete to a nascent worldliness.
