Bug-Tight Box: Living the Van Life in Eastern Australia

Matthew James Harrison

Every year, hundreds of thousands of young travellers from around the world choose to head Down Under for a spot of Backpacking. British photojournalist Matthew James Harrison was one of them.During one of the worst global recessions in modern history, Matthew and his Danish partner Lia hand in the keys to their quaint countryside cottage in Derbyshire and hop on to a Singapore Airlines flight bound for Sydney. They leave behind their financial security and comfortable lives, exchanging them instead for a once in a lifetime adventure on the open roads of Australia’s popular east coast.Based on Matthew’s travel journals, the book gives a first-hand account of living together for six months in a small van, from the perspective of a middle-class professional couple in their late-twenties. As the story progresses, the author shares experiences of visiting Australia’s unique blend of urban oases and stunning scenery, and at times goes deeper into the country’s troubled past.
